Service Providers for T. I. B. C.
T.I.B.C. typically refers to Total Iron-Binding Capacity (TIBC), a blood test used to assess the amount of transferrin in the blood, which is a protein that binds to iron and transports it throughout the body. TIBC helps in evaluating iron status and diagnosing conditions like iron deficiency anemia or iron overload disorders.
In this test, a high TIBC often indicates iron deficiency, as the body increases transferrin production when iron is low. Conversely, low TIBC can be seen in conditions like iron overload, chronic disease, or malnutrition.
