What are the prerequisites for the test Soluble Transferrin Receptor (STFR) Test

  • There are no specific prerequisites for the Soluble Transferrin Receptor (STFR) Test.
  • However, it is important to inform your healthcare provider about any medications you are currently taking, as certain medications may affect the test results.
  • It is also recommended to fast for at least 8 hours before the test, as eating can affect the levels of transferrin in the blood.
  • Inform your healthcare provider if you have any medical conditions that may impact the test results, such as anemia or liver disease.

What are the measure values for the test Soluble Transferrin Receptor (STFR) Test

  • Normal range: 0.5-1.5 mg/L
  • Borderline range: 1.6-2.0 mg/L
  • High range: >2.0 mg/L

What does this test Soluble Transferrin Receptor (STFR) Test identify?

Soluble Transferrin Receptor (STFR) Test

The Soluble Transferrin Receptor (STFR) Test is a blood test that measures the level of soluble transferrin receptors in the blood. Soluble transferrin receptors are proteins found in the blood that are involved in the transport of iron into cells.

This test is used to identify and monitor conditions that affect iron metabolism, such as iron deficiency anemia and chronic diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. High levels of soluble transferrin receptors in the blood can indicate iron deficiency anemia, while low levels may be seen in conditions like anemia of chronic disease.

Why is this test Soluble Transferrin Receptor (STFR) Test taken?

  • Why is the Soluble Transferrin Receptor (STFR) Test taken?
  • The Soluble Transferrin Receptor (STFR) Test is taken to measure the levels of soluble transferrin receptors in the blood. Soluble transferrin receptors are a marker of iron deficiency anemia and can help in the diagnosis and monitoring of this condition.
  • Iron deficiency anemia is a common type of anemia that occurs when there is not enough iron in the body to produce hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. Soluble transferrin receptors are elevated in cases of iron deficiency anemia because the body tries to compensate for the lack of iron by increasing the number of receptors that can bind to available iron.
  • By measuring the levels of soluble transferrin receptors, healthcare providers can determine if a person has iron deficiency anemia and monitor their response to treatment. This test is especially useful in cases where traditional markers of iron deficiency, such as ferritin levels, are inconclusive.
