Iron is also an important part of hemoglobin, a protein in your blood that helps carry oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body. An iron test can show if you have too much or too little of this mineral in your system. It can check for conditions like anemia, or iron over...
Total iron-binding capacity (TIBC).This test tells how much transferrin (a protein) is free to carry iron through your blood. If your TIBC level is high, it means more transferrin is free because you have low iron. Unsaturated iron-binding capacity (UIBC). This test measures how much tran...
Other laboratory tests of value include the complete blood count, coagulation profile, and clinical chemistry renal and hepatic profiles. The total iron-binding capacity is no longer considered helpful in the management of iron poisoning (Tenenbein and Yatscoff, 1991). View chapterExplore book ...

Blood volume is roughly 7% of the body weight (or you can count it more accurately with our blood volume calculator); The iron content of hemoglobin is 0.34%; 1000 converts g (grams) to mg (miligrams). It is worth noting that the result from the Ganzoni formula is the cumulative iron...
Blood sample was collected for complete blood count and ferritin assay. ID was defined as serum ferritin <12 μg/L. IDA was defined as ID plus Hb ≤ 10.5 g/dl.Two hundred ninety six infants were initially recruited; 29 declined consent; 22 had leukocytosis, leucopenia or eosinophilia; 15...

There was a positive correlation between whole blood viscosity and Hct, Hb, packed-cell volume, and RBC count at both low and high shear, and the strength of correlation was similar in those with or without iron deficiency (Fig. 2).In contrast, MCV was unrelated to whole blood viscosity ...
Complete blood count (CBC) was performed in routine practice at the College of Medicine and Public Health, Ubon Ratchathani University, by using the HmX Hematology Analyzer (Beckman Coulter, USA) within 24 h of blood collection. Hb analysis was done using capillary zone electrophoresis (Minicap: ...
