What does it mean to have 3 iron saturation?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Three percent?: I'd be very seriously concerned that you are iron deficient, even if you are not yet anemic. You need to find the cause as well as getting treated.

Iron deficiency: If you mean you have an iron saturation of 3% then you are very likely iron deficient. Would need to know other iron studies and red cell counts and indices to be sure.
