Transferrin (TRSF)
Explanation: Transferrin is a protein primarily produced by the liver that transports iron in the bloodstream. Almost all iron in the body is typically bound to transferrin. Iron is essential for various bodily functions, including enabling red blood cells to transport oxygen throughout the body. Transferrin levels are regulated by iron requirements and reserves.
Test Purpose:
- Evaluate iron transport and detect iron deficiency or iron overload disorders.
- Help distinguish between different types of anemia, such as iron deficiency anemia in case of high transferrin levels and hemolytic anemia in case of low transferrin levels.
- Assess liver function, as transferrin is produced by the liver.
