Serum Iron - Normal Values

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:

    Our normal waking consciousness, rational consciousness as we call it, is but one special type of consciousness, whilst all about it, parted from it by the filmiest of screens, there lie potential forms of consciousness entirely different.
    William James (1842–1910)

    Our children need to be able to see us take a stand for a value and against injustices, be those values and injustices in the family room, the boardroom, the classroom, or on the city streets.
    Barbara Coloroso (20th century)
