What causes high Transferrin saturation and low Alkaline phosphatase?

High Transferrin saturation and low Alkaline phosphatase can be caused by many reasons.

If your Transferrin saturation is in between 13 % and 45 % and your Alkaline phosphatase is in between 30 U/L and 120 U/L then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for Transferrin saturation and Alkaline phosphatase respectively. But if your levels are lesser or greater than the above values, then there may be some problem in your body.

Some examples of conditions that can increase or decrease Transferrin saturation levels include:

• Anemia
• Your body doesnt have enough healthy red blood cells
• Chronic Illness
• Iron poisoning
• Gastrointestinal blood loss

High Transferrin saturation and low Alkaline phosphatase can be caused by a lot of reasons. If you take Transferrin saturation and Alkaline phosphatase blood tests and the results are higher than 45 % for Transferrin saturation and lower than 30 U/L for Alkaline phosphatase, your physician may recommend more tests to figure out the problem. You might also get these tests if your physician thinks you have some other disease.
