Important

The WWT test includes determination of iron and transferrin concentrations.

Description

Transferrin concentration has diagnostic value
in combination with iron, ferritin and transferrin saturation tests (WWT).
Elevated WWT values occur in: iron utilization disorders, hemoglobin synthesis disorders and hemolytic anemias (from vit.B12 and folic acid deficiency), lead poisoning,
iron overload (blood transfusions).
Decreased WWT values occur:
- in iron deficiency anemia and during infections, chronic inflammation,
- in the course of cancer, in uremia
- in liver parenchymal damage.
