Total Iron Binding Capacity

Aka: Total Iron Binding Capacity, TIBC
  1. Measurement
    1. Transferrin carries 2 iron atoms per molecule
    2. Transferrin is normally 30% bound to iron
    3. TIBC reflects a measurement of serum Transferrin
      1. Measured by saturating all available binding sites
  2. Interpretation: Normal
    1. Range: 250-460 ug/dl
  3. Interpretation: Increased TIBC
    1. Iron Deficiency Anemia
    2. Third trimester Pregnancy
    3. Polycythemia Vera
  4. Interpretation: Decreased TIBC
    1. Anemia of Chronic Disease
    2. Hemolytic Anemia
    3. Hemochromatosis
    4. Chronic Liver Disease or Cirrhosis
    5. Hypoproteinemia
    6. Malnutrition
    7. Pernicious Anemia
    8. Sickle Cell Anemia
