Information

The TIBC test measures transferrin levels in the blood to evaluate the body's ability to bind and transport iron, which is essential for the production of red blood cells and the maintenance of healthy body function.

Abnormalities in TIBC levels can indicate iron deficiency, iron excess, or diseases related to the liver and kidneys, making the test useful for diagnosing and monitoring iron-related health conditions.

Information
