Iron (TIBC included)

A serum iron test with TIBC included measures the amount of iron in your blood which is a crucial mineral that your body needs to produce hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body. This test is a vital diagnostic tool for assessing iron status in the body.

It helps diagnose and monitor iron deficiency and overload conditions, guides treatment plans, and assesses nutritional status. By providing critical information about these levels, the test plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health and preventing complications associated with abnormal levels.
