Iron Tests · 2024
“Iron tests are used to check iron levels. There are four main types of iron tests: Serum iron test, which measures the amount of iron in the blood. Transferrin test, which measures transferrin, a protein that moves iron throughout your body. Total iron-binding capacity (TIBC). Ferritin blood test, which measures how much iron is stored in the body.
Tradução livre: Os exames de ferro verificam os níveis no sangue. Existem 4 tipos: ferro sérico (quantidade no sangue), transferrina (proteína que carrega ferro), TIBC (capacidade total de ligação) e ferritina (ferro armazenado).
