I'm not a doctor, but I can provide general information. Your iron saturation level is slightly below the reference range, which could indicate lower iron availability in your blood. Iron saturation measures the percentage of transferrin (a protein that transports iron) that is carrying iron. A lower-than-normal level can be associated with iron deficiency, but this isn't the only possible explanation. Other factors, like diet, overall iron levels, and underlying health conditions, could also play a role.
