What Does IBC Stand For?
IBC stands for Iron Binding Capacity
Iron Binding Capacity (IBC) refers to the total amount of iron that can be bound by proteins in serum, primarily transferrin, which is a key component in iron transport within the body. This measurement is essential for assessing iron metabolism and diagnosing conditions related to iron deficiency or overload. IBC plays a crucial role in understanding an individual’s iron status and can aid in the evaluation of anemia and other related disorders.
