The concentration of soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) in serum is reported to be useful in the diagnosis of iron deficiency, especially for patients with concurrent chronic disease, where routine tests of iron status are compromised by the inflammatory condition. A new diagnostic assay for sTfR is calibrated against natural plasma sTfR, thus minimizing calibration discrepancies that result from differences between the analyte and the cellular transferrin receptor used in other assays. Use of the new assay to measure sTfR concentrations in 225 healthy, hematologically normal adults provided a reference interval against which pathological samples could be compared. There was no difference in the reference intervals for men and women and no correlation of [sTfR] with the age of the subject. Black subjects had significantly higher concentrations than nonblacks, and people living at high altitude had higher concentrations than those living closer to sea level. These differences were additive.
