Composition of Iron Deficiency profile
The Iron Deficiency Profile by Thyrocare includes four markers used to understand iron availability and iron-binding capacity. Results must be read with history, symptoms, and clinician context.
| Test / Marker | What it measures (high level) |
|---|---|
| Iron | Circulating iron level at the time of collection. |
| Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) | Estimated capacity of transferrin to bind iron. |
| Unsaturated Iron Binding Capacity (UIBC) | Remaining iron-binding capacity not occupied by iron. |
| % Transferrin Saturation | Calculated ratio of iron bound to transferrin relative to total capacity. |
What the Iron Deficiency Profile helps assess
It supports the evaluation of iron status patterns. It does not diagnose a condition or decide treatment; interpretation belongs with a clinician who can correlate results with CBC, ferritin, diet, blood loss history, and other relevant findings.
