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

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

High levels of Potassium and Transferrin saturation in the blood indicate a variety of health problems. If your blood Potassium level is between 3.5 mmol/L to 5.1 mmol/L and the Transferrin saturation level is between 13 mmol/L to 45 %, then your body does not have any underlying health problems. But if Potassium and Transferrin saturation levels exceed these levels, you should see a doctor immediately.
