Use of TIBC in iron toxicity may be less useful than previous believed. 1 TIBC or transferrin is a useful index of nutritional status. Uncomplicated iron deficiency: Serum transferrin (and TIBC) high, serum iron low, saturation low. Usual causes of depleted iron stores include blood loss, inadequate dietary iron.
In recovery from pernicious anemia, especially just after B 12 dose, iron levels are low. In fact, the drop in serum iron 1 to several days after the Schilling test flushing dose of vitamin B 12 may be more useful in diagnosis than the radioactivity of the 24-hour urine collection.

transferrin - measures levels of the iron carrier; total iron binding capacity (TIBC) - measures the transferrin capacity to bind iron; serum ferritin - measures the body's ability to store iron.

ICD-10-CM Code for Iron deficiency E61. 1.
A total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) test measures the blood's ability to attach itself to iron and transport it around the body. A transferrin test is similar. If you have iron deficiency (a lack of iron in your blood), your iron level will be low but your TIBC will be high.
Ferritin, iron and either iron binding capacity or transferrin are useful in the differential diagnosis of iron deficiency, anemia, and for iron overload conditions.
What is the difference between iron and ferritin? Iron is an important mineral present in red blood cells that carries oxygen to cells in the body. Ferritin on the other hand is a protein that stores iron and releases iron when the body needs it.
Transferrin is the main iron transporting protein in the circulation. Ferritin concentrations reflect the body's iron stores.

As the name implies, iron deficiency anemia is due to insufficient iron. Without enough iron, your body can't produce enough of a substance in red blood cells that enables them to carry oxygen (hemoglobin). As a result, iron deficiency anemia may leave you tired and short of breath.
While iron is usually considered in relation to hematopoiesis and oxygen transport functions of red cells, it is also of prime import to the lymphomyeloid systems. 6. Footnotes: 1. Tenenbein M, Yatscoff RW, “The Total Iron-Binding Capacity in Iron Poisoning.
In fact, the drop in serum iron 1 to several days after the Schilling test flushing dose of vitamin B 12 may be more useful in diagnosis than the radioactivity of the 24-hour urine collection. Serum iron is reported to drop with acute infarct of myocardium.
Low iron levels may be misleading in chronic infection, inflammation and malignancy; high ferritin levels occur in many such states, however, the most sensitive test for iron deficiency is bone marrow examination. 4 TIBC and transferrin are increased in patients on oral contraceptives, with normal saturation.
TIBC is increased in iron-deficiency, use of oral contraceptives, and in pregnancy. TIBC is decreased in hypoproteinemia due to many causes, and is decreased in a number of inflammatory states.
Serum iron is decrease d with insufficient dietary iron, chronic blood loss (including the hemolytic anemias paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria), inadequate absorption of iron and impaired release of iron stores as in inflammation, infection and chronic diseases.
The serum ferritin is a more sensitive test than the serum iron or TIBC for iron deficiency and for iron overload. 2 When all these tests are used together, as is often necessary, they usually can distinguish between iron deficiency anemia and the anemia of chronic disease.
