Total iron-binding capacity measures how much iron the blood can carry.
Why it matters: Iron blood tests can help diagnose conditions including iron deficiency anaemia, iron overload, anaemia of chronic disease, liver disease and thalassaemias, and can check whether treatment for low or high iron is working.
