iron level tests, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) tests, ferritin tests, and transferrin tests.
Total Iron Binding Capacity see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_iron-binding_capacity
Typically, measuring the blood iron content would be an iron level. TIBC (total iron binding capacity), transferrin, and ferritin are related tests that are sometimes done when iron levels are in question.
iron deficiency anemia, polycythemia vera, pregnancy, blood loss, severe hepatitis, and the use of birth control pills.
A presence of low TIBC means the body has an inability for total iron-binding capacity. This could indicate iron disorders, which can cause oxidative stress.
AS THERE IS IRON DEFICIENCY IN THIS TYPE OF ANEMIA,LOW SERUM IRON SO THERE WILL BE INCREASE IN BINDING OF IRON ITS A COMPENSATORY PROCESS .
When having a Total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) or transferrin, than it is necessary to avoid eating or drinking for 8 hours before the blood test. It is not necessary to fast when having a ferritin blood test.
malnutrition, severe burns, hemochromatosis, anemia caused by infections and chronic diseases, cirrhosis of the liver, and kidney disease.
