Normal Values
Normal reference ranges are:
- Serum Iron (SI):
- Men: 65 to 176 μg/dL
- Women: 50 to 170 μg/dL
- Newborns: 100 to 250 μg/dL
- Children: 50 to 120 μg/dL
- TIBC: 240–450 μg/dL
- Transferrin saturation: 20–50%
μg/dL = micrograms per deciliter.
Laboratories often use different units and "normal" may vary by population and the lab techniques used; look at the individual laboratory reference values to interpret a specific test (for instance, your own).

Famous quotes containing the words normal and/or values:
“Cant is always rather nauseating; but before we condemn political hypocrisy, let us remember that it is the tribute paid by men of leather to men of God, and that the acting of the part of someone better than oneself may actually commit one to a course of behaviour perceptibly less evil than what would be normal and natural in an avowed cynic.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“When the shingles hissed
in the rain incendiary,
other values were revealed to us,”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
