Total iron binding capacity (TIBC) is a potential biomarker of left ventricular remodelling for patients with iron deficiency anaemia

Diagnostic Accuracy of Serum Iron and Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) in Iron Deficiency State.

OBJECTIVE To determine the diagnostic accuracy of serum iron and total iron binding capacity (TIBC) in detection of iron deficiency. STUDY DESIGN Descriptive, analytical study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Department of Chemical Pathology and Endocrinology, from January 2013 to October 2015. METHODOLOGY Data of 1,815 patients with results of serum iron, TIBC and ferritin from January 2013 ...

New method for determining total iron-binding capacity of serum (TIBC) with radioiron by eliminating iron from transferrin.

Serum iron and total iron-binding capacity compared with serum ferritin in assessment of iron deficiency.

Ferritin values for 250 selected sera were compared with values for iron, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), and transferrin saturation, to assess the potential of the ferritin assay for the detection of latent iron deficiency. The specimens were grouped (50 in each group) according to their values for iron and TIBC. In Group 1 (low iron, high TIBC) the saturation and ferritin values both indi...

Modification of fully automated total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) assay in serum and comparison with dimension TIBC method.

BACKGROUND We previously reported the development of a fully automated assay for total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) in serum, using a multipurpose automated analyzer. However, this method requires four different reagents and is thus useful only with a limited number of available analyzers. We simplified our original assay and compared the analytical performance of the modified method with that ...

Iron deficiency anaemia with hypoproteinaemia.

Forty two children were admitted to this hospital between 1975 and 1980 with severe iron deficiency anaemia and 8 of them also had oedema caused by a low concentration of serum proteins. These 8 patients, aged 8-24 months, and 13 age matched controls were investigated. The patients had excessive faecal loss of 59FeCl or 51Cr-albumin, or both; their jejunal biopsy specimens showed little decreas...
