Iron is an essential nutrient that is crucial for producing healthy red blood cells (RBCs), as well as other processes. It is a critical component of hemoglobin, a protein in RBCs that binds oxygen in the lungs and then releases it as blood circulates to other body parts. Unfortunately, the body cannot produce iron and must absorb it from food or supplements.

Typically, iron is transported throughout the body by transferrin, produced by the liver. If an individual is healthy, most iron is incorporated into the hemoglobin in developing RBCs in the bone marrow. The rest is stored in the tissues as ferritin, with other small amounts used for different purposes (producing other iron-containing proteins such as myoglobin and some enzymes).

Standard iron blood tests measure the total amount of iron in the blood to determine if iron levels or too low or too high. However, with the addition of a total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) test, individuals can also measure how much iron can attach to transferrin and other proteins in the blood, which can help determine if the abnormal levels indicate a severe health condition such as liver disease or malnutrition.

Fasting for at least 8-10 hours is required.
