This test helps evaluate your body’s iron stores and can identify if you have an iron deficiency or excess iron levels, which can indicate certain health conditions.
- TIBC (Total Iron-Binding Capacity) Test: The TIBC test measures the total amount of iron that can be bound to proteins in your blood. It provides information about the capacity of proteins to transport and bind iron. By assessing TIBC levels, healthcare providers can gain insights into iron metabolism and determine if there are any abnormalities or imbalances.
