Quote:
The diagnosis of iron overload and potentially hereditary hemochromatosis should be suspected in men whose transferrin saturation is greater than 55% and in women whose transferrin saturation is greater than 50%. A medical history that includes frequent blood donations or unusual blood loss may lower these percentages by an additional 10%.
