Description:

Iron and Total Iron-binding Capacity Blood Test (Labcorp)

This test provides several measurements related to a person's iron levels. Iron is a nutrient which is essential to a number of bodily processes including the production of red blood cells. Iron is absorbed from the food a person eats and transported through the body by Transferrin, a protein produced by the liver. Iron testing can be useful for helping to determine if a person is suffering from iron deficiency or overload.

This test includes the following measurements:

Iron, Serum: A measure of iron in the blood:
Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC): Measures proteins in the blood, including transferrin, which are available to bind with iron.
UIBC: Measures the reserve portion of transferrin which has not yet been saturated with iron.
Iron Saturation: A calculation of the percent of transferrin which is saturated with iron.

This test is usually ordered when a person has had abnormal results from a CBC, especially if the Hematocrit and Hemoglobin are out of range. It may also be ordered when a person is experiencing symptoms of iron deficiency or overload. The Iron and TIBC test provides more information than a standard Iron Blood Test.

Turnaround time for the Iron and TIBC test is typically 1 business day.
