Also, total iron binding capacity may be low, but can also be normal.
2.
In the test, serum iron levels are divided by the blood's total iron binding capacity.
3.
The TIBC should not be confused with the UIBC, or " unsaturated iron binding capacity " ( and ).
4.
Levels of serum iron and total iron binding capacity ( TIBC ) are used in conjunction with transferrin to specify any abnormality.
5.
Body-store iron deficiency is diagnosed by tests such as a low serum ferritin, a low serum iron level, an elevated serum transferrin and a high total iron binding capacity.
6.
When plasma transferrin levels rise, there is a reciprocal decrease in percent transferrin iron saturation, and a corresponding increase in total iron binding capacity in iron deficient states A decreased plasma transferrin can occur in iron overload diseases and protein malnutrition.
