Low serum iron is associated with anemia in CKD stage 1–4 patients with normal transferrin saturations
Low transferrin saturation (TSAT), calculated by serum iron divided by total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), indicates iron deficiency. Because malnutrition and inflammation are associated with low TIBC in chronic kidney disease (CKD), TSAT might not reflect iron status or risk for anemia. We examined...
