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

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

High levels of Phosphorus and Transferrin saturation in the blood indicate a variety of health problems. If your blood Phosphorus level is between 2.5 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 Phosphorus and Transferrin saturation levels exceed these levels, you should see a doctor immediately.

Normal Phosphorus range : 2.5 - 4.5 mg/dL
