Test parameters
Parameters are reported according to the selected test and laboratory protocol.
Iron is transported in the body by a protein called transferrin, which is produced by the liver. It is transported to the bone marrow and is incorporated into haemoglobin of red blood cells. The remaining iron is stored in cells and tissues as ferritin or hemosiderin. Liver health and a person's nutritional status determine the amount of transferrin in the blood. The total iron binding capacity test assesses the blood's ability to bind and transport iron and gives a status of iron stores in the body.
