MDS-CAN:
Cardiac death-free survival by transferrin saturation


  • Elevated levels of oxidatively damaging non-transferrin bound iron and labile plasma iron correlate with transferrin saturation (TSAT) >70% and >80%, respectively, but are not easily measured1.

Clinical outcomes associated with transferrin saturation in an analysis from the Canadian MDS registry: Cardiac death-free survival2
