🔬 TIBC & % Iron Saturation – Understanding Your Body’s Iron Balance

Iron testing evaluates the amount of circulating iron in your blood, while Total Iron-Binding Capacity (TIBC) measures how well your blood can transport iron. % Iron Saturation is calculated from these values and reflects how much of your iron-binding capacity is actually being used.

These tests are essential in evaluating:

• Iron deficiency anemia (low iron or % saturation, high TIBC)

• Iron overload disorders like hemochromatosis (high iron and % saturation)

• Chronic illness or inflammatory states that affect iron metabolism

Together, these markers give a detailed picture of how your body absorbs, transports, and stores iron.
