Total Protein
July 3, 2023The Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) blood test measures the total amount of iron that can be bound to proteins in your blood. It provides valuable information about your body’s iron status and its ability to transport iron.
Sample Type: The test requires a small blood sample, typically obtained by drawing blood from a vein in your arm using a needle.
Normal Range: The normal range for TIBC is typically between 250 to 450 micrograms per deciliter (mcg/dL) or 45 to 80 micromoles per liter (µmol/L). However, the specific range may vary slightly depending on the laboratory and the reference values they use.
TIBC helps evaluate iron deficiency or iron overload conditions. If your TIBC levels are low, it may suggest iron deficiency anemia, while high levels may indicate conditions like hemochromatosis or iron overload. The TIBC test is often used in conjunction with other iron tests to provide a more comprehensive assessment of your iron status. If your test results fall outside the normal range, it’s recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and appropriate management.
