HomeLab TestTotal Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC)
Overview
Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) test helps to check the iron binding capacity of a protein transferrin. It helps to diagnose excess or deficiency of iron in the blood. This test is recommended if a doctor suspects the symptoms of iron deficiency o...
Risk assessment
The TIBC Test is performed:
· To confirm anemia due to iron deficiency detected in routine checkups
· To determine excess or deficiency of iron in the body
· To determine the capacity of the blood to transport iron
Ranges
240 mcg/dL to 450 mcg/dL
Test result interpretation
Normal Range: 250 to 425µg/dL

Description
A TIBC (total iron-binding capacity) test is a blood test that measures your blood’s ability (capacity) to attach (bind) to iron and carry it throughout your body. Healthcare providers use it to help diagnose iron-deficiency anemia and other iron metabolism conditions. More specifically, a TIBC test shows the amount of transferrin in your blood.
