Iron Binding Capacity - Total
(TIBC)

Iron Profile Test Overview The iron profile test consists of a group of tests that aim to check the iron levels in your body. Iron is a mineral that is essential for the human body to produce healthy red blood cells, healthy muscles, and organ function. An iron profile test is a simple blood test that measures different parameters related to iron metabolism in the body. It commonly covers various iron-related markers like total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), serum iron, ferritin, and transferrin to detect anomalies like iron deficiency or excess. It also studies the body’s ability to store and utilize iron efficiently.
You are likely to be advised to get an iron profile test if you:
​

• experience symptoms associated with excessive iron buildup in the body, such as joint pain, abdominal discomfort, fatigue, or hair loss.
  ​
• exhibit signs or symptoms indicative of iron-deficiency anaemia, including paleness, fatigue, weakness, and headaches.
