Total iron binding capacity (TIBC) is a blood test to see if you have too much or too little iron in the blood. Iron moves through the blood attached to a protein called transferrin. This test helps your doctor know how well that protein can carry iron in the blood.
1 In the blood, a protein called transferrin, which is made by the liver, carries iron. A TIBC test measures how much iron is carried in your bloodstream.  Low TIBC levels usually indicate high levels of iron in the blood. High iron binding capacity levels typically indicate low levels of iron in the blood.
