About this test

The Iron + TIBC test measures serum iron levels along with Total Iron Binding Capacity to evaluate iron deficiency, anemia, and iron overload conditions.

The Iron + Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) test is a comprehensive blood test used to assess iron levels and the blood’s capacity to bind and transport iron. While serum iron measures the amount of circulating iron, TIBC reflects the availability of transferrin, the protein responsible for carrying iron in the blood.

This combination test helps provide a clearer picture of iron metabolism and is commonly used to diagnose conditions such as iron deficiency anemia, chronic diseases, and iron overload disorders like hemochromatosis.

The purpose of the Iron + TIBC Test is to

  • To measure serum iron and Total Iron Binding Capacity
  • To diagnose iron deficiency anemia
  • To detect iron overload conditions
  • To evaluate iron metabolism in the body
  • To assist in identifying chronic disease-related anemia
