Transferrin

Transferrin is your blood’s main iron transport protein — think of it like the Uber that picks up iron and takes it where it needs to go. When transferrin levels go up, your body is often trying to grab more iron. When levels drop, it might mean inflammation is blocking iron transport or your liver isn’t making enough. This marker gives great context alongside serum iron, ferritin, and iron saturation to spot low iron, inflammation, or early liver issues.
