The Iron and Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) Test measures the amount of iron in your blood. Having too much or too little iron in your blood can cause medical problems. However, this test is mainly used to determine certain types of anemia.
Why Do I Need It?:
You may too much or too little iron in your blood.
Either way, it’s important to find out.
A TIBC not only gives an Iron level, but also shows the ability of a protein called transferrin to carry iron in the blood.
Iron | 60 ‐ 170 mcg/dL |
TIBC | 240 ‐ 450 mcg/dL |
Elevated results could indicate iron deficiency.
Low results could indicate hemochromatosis, malnutrition, inflammation, liver disease or kidney disease.
