chiropractor(Noun) A health care practitioner who specializes in chiropractic, the hands on or hand-held instrumental movement of the bone structure of the body to improve the function of the joints and/or nervous system.
The values for serum iron, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), and transferrin saturation are used to see if a low amount of iron in the body is from iron deficiency anemia or another condition. The values are also used to see whether a high amount of iron is due to hemochromatosis or another condition.
Iron deficiency anemia results from low or depleted stores of iron, which is needed to produce red blood cells. 1  Excessive bleeding is the most common cause. 2  People may be weak, short of breath, and pale. 3  Blood tests can detect low levels of iron.  Iron supplements are used to restore iron levels.
