                                According to the American Society of Hematology, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) measures the blood's capacity to bind to iron and is a key indicator of various health conditions. Low TIBC means there is less transferrin protein available to carry iron, which can signal either sufficient iron stores or potentially dangerous iron overload.
