TOTAL IRON BINDING CAPACITY (TIBC)

The TIBC test measures how well blood can carry iron. It checks the amount of a protein called transferrin, which helps transport iron through the body. This test helps diagnose iron deficiency or iron overload; often used along with other iron tests to understand iron levels, anemia causes, or conditions like hemochromatosis.
