    Glossary Iron Status

    levels of iron in the body affecting oxygen transport

    Iron status refers to the levels of iron in the body, which are crucial for producing hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. It is typically assessed through blood tests measuring parameters like serum ferritin, transferrin saturation, and hemoglobin levels. Proper iron status is essential for overall health, and imbalances can lead to conditions such as anemia or iron overload.
