IRON BINDING CAPACITY TOTAL

TIBC Test evaluates how well transferrin, a protein in the blood, binds to iron and transports it. This test is useful for:

Diagnosing iron deficiency anemia, often linked to low iron levels and high TIBC
Assessing iron overload disorders, such as hemochromatosis, where iron levels are high, but TIBC is low
Monitoring iron metabolism and absorption, especially in patients with chronic diseases
