Iron Studies Overview
Iron studies give results of four parameters i.e., serum iron, Total iron binding capacity (TIBC), transferrin saturation % & unsaturated iron binding capacity (UIBC). It is widely used for the diagnosis of Iron deficiency, anaemia due to chronic disease, iron overload diseases particularly Hemochromatosis and for workup of microcytic hypochromic anaemia.
- Serum iron is a measure of the amount of iron that is present in the blood. It is typically measured in micrograms of iron per deciliter of blood (mcg/dL).
- Transferrin is a blood plasma glycoprotein in charge of delivering ferric ions and is essential for iron metabolism. It delivers iron to several tissues, including the liver, spleen, and bone marrow, through the blood. The amount of iron in the blood that is linked to transferrin is revealed by the transferrin saturation test.
- Total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) is a parameter used to assess how strongly iron binds to transferrin and other blood proteins.
- TIBC is the sum of serum iron and UIBC.
