What is a Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) Test?
The TIBC test measures the blood's capacity to bind iron, indicating the availability of transferrin, a protein that transports iron in the bloodstream. It helps diagnose iron deficiency anemia and assess overall iron metabolism.
What is Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) Report Format?
The report presents the TIBC level, typically measured in micrograms per deciliter (µg/dL), compared to the normal reference range to evaluate the body’s iron-binding capacity.
Tests Included in TIBC Report
Test | Description |
TIBC | Measures the total amount of iron-binding sites available in the blood. |
Key Parts of TIBC Report
Key Part | Description |
TIBC Level | The concentration of iron-binding capacity in the blood. |
Normal Range for TIBC Report
Test | Normal Range |
TIBC | 240-450 µg/dL |
Parameters to Consider in TIBC Report
Parameter | Interpretation |
TIBC Level | High levels may suggest iron deficiency anemia; low levels may indicate iron overload or chronic disease. |
Guidelines for TIBC Report Format
Guideline | Description |
Test Results | Present the TIBC level with reference to the normal range. |
Interpretation | Provide context on whether the TIBC level suggests iron deficiency or overload. |
What Do the Results Mean?
Result Type | Interpretation |
High TIBC Levels | Indicate iron deficiency anemia, where the body lacks sufficient iron. |
Low TIBC Levels | May suggest iron overload or chronic disease affecting iron metabolism. |
Total Iron Binding Capacity Report Interpretation
Test | Interpretation |
TIBC | High TIBC suggests iron deficiency anemia, while low TIBC may point to iron overload or chronic inflammation. Further testing, like serum ferritin, is often necessary for a complete diagnosis. |
