| What is Apo Transferrin | Transferrin is a glycoprotein present in the blood and is encoded by the TF gene. It binds to iron and transports it throughout the body. This is bound to near zero levels of iron. |
| What is it used for | A transferrin test directly measures the level of iron in the blood and a high level of transferrin suggests iron-deficiency anemia whereas a lower level indicates hemolytic anemia and liver diseases. |
