Iron is transported in the blood as transferrin, a major transport protein. Transferrin carries 60-70% of the bodyâs iron. The total amount of iron bound to transferrin is referred to as total iron-binding capacity (TIBC). TIBC will help your doctor differentiate between different types of anemia. TIBC is high in iron deficiency anemia and low/normal with anemia of chronic disease. TIBC is also used to help doctors diagnose iron overload, which is called hemochromatosis. Low levels of iron are associated with iron deficiency anemia.
The NRBC blood test is ordered to count the nucleated red blood cells that are present. These cells are generally counted as white blood cells and the technique can happen through equipment or through a manual count.his is when the nucleated red blood cells are formed. In most cases, these new cells are not released until they are mature enough to transport oxygen. Most people will not have them in their blood at all, which means a normal result would be 0. This does not mean an abnormal result means there is something wrong.
