Hello,

This morning I requested a TIBC (total iron binding capacity) tests along with other tests from my GP. On my return I checked the test form and did not see TIBC but PRFRNS: What is it? Could not find any information from Dr Google.

If anyone knows what it is I would love to hear from you. Thank you.

I'm sorry you had no replies, this may be because your post was missed or because people who saw it didn't have the relevant information or experience to answer. If you still need help it may be worth posting again.

Thanks for contacting me. I will find out soon once I get the results and then will also ask GP. Was annoyed she did not request the TIBC test that I wanted but instead saw that odd test ! That’s GPs for you.
