What it calculates

The “TSAT (transferrin)” calculator computes Transferrin saturation in % from 2 parameters: serum iron (µmol/L), transferrin (g/L).

Used by professionals and patients to assess health metrics, dosages, and risks.

Example calculation

With parameters Serum iron = 15 µmol/L, Transferrin = 2.5 g/L the result is 23.9 % (Draw blood in the morning, fasting).

How to use

FAQ

How is BMI calculated?
BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)². Example: 70 kg / (1.75 m)² = 22.9. The WHO normal range is 18.5–24.9; below that is underweight, 25–29.9 is overweight, and 30+ is obese.
Is BMI accurate for everyone?
No. BMI does not distinguish muscle from fat, so athletes may show a high BMI with low body fat. It is also less reliable for teenagers, pregnant people, older adults, and very tall or short individuals.
What are the BMI categories?
Underweight: below 18.5. Normal: 18.5–24.9. Overweight: 25–29.9. Obese class I: 30–34.9; class II: 35–39.9; class III: 40+.
What is a better measure than BMI?
Body fat percentage, waist-to-height ratio (aim for under 0.5), and waist circumference give a clearer picture of health than BMI alone.
