What does high Phosphate and Transferrin saturation mean in blood test?

High Phosphate and Transferrin saturation can be caused by numerous problems.

High levels of Phosphate and Transferrin saturation in the blood indicate a variety of health problems. If your blood Phosphate level is between 2.4 mg/dL to 4.5 mg/dL and the Transferrin saturation level is between 13 mg/dL to 45 %, then your body does not have any underlying health problems. But if Phosphate and Transferrin saturation levels exceed these levels, you should see a doctor immediately.

Normal Phosphate range : 2.4 - 4.5 mg/dL
