Description: WebUnsaturated iron-binding capacity (UIBC) is a blood test most frequently used along with a serum iron test and a total iron-binding capacity test (TIBC) to evaluate people suspected of having either iron deficiency or iron overload. UIBC is used for calculation of TIBC: TIBC [µg/dL] = UIBC [µg/dL] + Iron [µg/dL]
