Iron deficiency anemia. This occurs when low iron levels cause a low amount of oxygen-carrying hemoglobin in red blood cells. The iron levels are low, the transferrin saturation is high, and the ferritin level is low.

In another study from Finland, the relative risk of cancer did not vary significantly between quartiles of transferrin saturation.6 Persons with a transferrin saturation level of 60%, which corresponded to the 97th percentile, however, had a significantly increased risk of any type of cancer, as well as colorectal cancer.

Thus, a single elevated transferrin saturation level might have resulted in overestimates of the prevalence of those who will progress to iron overload in the study population. In conclusion, elevated serum transferrin saturation has implications for increased mortality risk.
