Total Iron Binding Capacity Test (TIBC Test)

The Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) test measures the amount of iron that can be bound to proteins in the blood, primarily to a protein called transferrin. This test is often ordered along with other tests to help evaluate a person's iron metabolism and can be used to diagnose conditions such as iron deficiency anaemia, haemochromatosis, and other iron overload disorders.

Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) is a blood test that measures the level of iron that can be bound to proteins that transport it in the bloodstream. The TIBC test is often used in conjunction with other tests to evaluate iron metabolism and to diagnose anemia, which occurs when the body doesn't have enough red blood cells.

During the TIBC test, a small sample of blood is drawn from a vein in the arm and sent to a laboratory for analysis. The TIBC level is often used along with the measurement of serum iron to determine how well iron is being transported in the blood. The TIBC test may also be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment for iron-deficiency anemia.
