Iron

UIBC

Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC)

Transferrin Saturation

Iron Studies Interpretation

In Labsmart software, this is the inbuilt interpretation for Iron Studies

Physiological basis
Plasma iron concentration is determined by absorption from the intestine; storage in the intestine, liver, spleen, bone marrow, rate of breakdown or loss of hemoglobin, and rate of synthesis of new hemoglobin.

Interpretation for Iron (Fe), serum or plasma

Increased	Decreased
Hemosiderosis (eg, multiple transfusions, excess iron administration), acute Fe poisoning (children), hemolytic anemia, pernicious anemia, aplastic or hypoplastic anemia, viral hepatitis, lead poisoning, thalassemia, hemochromatosis. Drugs: estrogens, ethanol, oral contraceptives.	Iron deficiency, nephrotic syndrome, chronic renal failure, many infections, active hematopoiesis, remission of pernicious anemia, hypothyroidism, malignancy (carcinoma), postoperative state, kwashiorkor.

TIBC correlates with serum transferrin, but the relationship is not linear over a wide range of transferrin values and is disrupted in diseases affecting transferrin-binding capacity or other iron-binding proteins.
Increased in: Iron deficiency anemia, late pregnancy, infancy, acute hepatitis. Drugs: oral contraceptives.
Decreased in: Hypoproteinemic states (eg, nephrotic syndrome, starvation, malnutrition, cancer), hemochromatosis, thalassemia, hyperthyroidism, chronic infections, chronic inflammatory disorders, chronic liver disease, and other chronic diseases.

Increased % transferrin saturation with iron is seen in iron overload (iron poisoning, hemolytic anemia, sideroblastic anemia, thalassemia, hemochromatosis, pyridoxine deficiency, aplastic anemia, RBC transfusions).
Decreased % transferrin saturation with iron is seen in iron deficiency (usually saturation < 16%). It can also be used to assess nutritional status.

Importance of adding interpretation to reports:

It's very helpful to add interpretation in reports as it makes the reports more patient friendly and also helpful to doctors in some cases. Moreover, presently most labs prefer providing reports with interpretation. Thus, adding interpretation to report will help your lab stay at par with other competitor labs.
