Treatment and symptoms of Transferrin saturation 18 % | Diet for normal Transferrin saturation level 18 %

Normal Transferrin saturation level of 18 can cause a number of symptoms.

An abnormal transferrin saturation level of 18 can reveal issues with iron transport and storage. A transferrin saturation of 18 may indicate either iron deficiency or excess, depending on accompanying markers like TIBC and serum iron. This test is important in diagnosing disorders such as iron-deficiency anemia or hemochromatosis and is a reliable indicator of how efficiently iron is bound and transported in the bloodstream. Treatments vary, but your priority should be altering your diet without delay.

Below are the symptoms and treatments associated with high Transferrin Saturation levels:

• Symptoms of High Transferrin Saturation (Iron Overload):
• High transferrin saturation may indicate iron overload, which can lead to symptoms such as joint pain, fatigue, liver damage, and abdominal pain.
• Other symptoms of iron overload include heart problems (e.g., arrhythmias), skin darkening (especially around joints), and diabetes.
• Iron overload can damage organs like the heart, liver, and pancreas if left untreated, and it may be associated with conditions like hemochromatosis.
• Treatments for High Transferrin Saturation:
• If high transferrin saturation is due to iron overload, treatment often involves phlebotomy (regular blood removal) or iron chelation therapy to reduce iron levels.
• In cases of hemochromatosis (a genetic disorder causing iron buildup), regular blood donation or medication to remove excess iron may be prescribed.
• Dietary adjustments, such as avoiding excessive iron-rich foods or vitamin C supplements that increase iron absorption, may also be recommended.
• If organ damage is suspected, further treatment to address any affected organs (e.g., liver or heart) may be necessary to prevent long-term complications.
