It reflects the amount of transferrin receptor that detaches from the cell surface, which is directly related to the body's iron requirement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy should you have sTfR tested?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTesting sTfR is useful for assessing the body's iron status, especially in cases where other tests such as serum iron or ferritin may not provide a clear picture. It is particularly useful in diagnosing iron deficiency or in distinguishing iron deficiency anemia from other forms of anemia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat does it indicate?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn sTfR test indicates the amount of iron available for red blood cell production. It helps determine whether the body has enough iron for normal blood formation and reveals iron deficiency before it becomes apparent in standard blood tests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat does a high sTfR level mean?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA high level of sTfR indicates an increased need for iron or a lack of iron in the body. This may suggest iron deficiency anemia or increased erythropoiesis (red blood cell production).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BloedCheckup","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47734025388378,"sku":"","price":98.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0814\/6816\/2394\/files\/SolubleTransferrineReceptor.png?v=1755941765","url":"https:\/\/store.bloedcheckup.nl\/nl\/products\/soluble-transferrine-receptor","provider":"BloedCheckup","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
