What is Total Iron Binding Capacity ?
Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) is a blood test that measures the maximum amount of iron that can be bound to proteins in the blood, particularly to a protein called transferrin, which transports iron throughout the body. TIBC is used to assess the body’s ability to transport iron and is often measured alongside other iron-related tests, such as serum iron and ferritin, to evaluate iron metabolism and diagnose various health conditions.
