Label

Serum TIBC RAW

Description

Serum biomarker TIBC (Total Iron Binding Capacity) measured in umol/L. Raw data; cleaned data provided in variable G_TIBC with x_Threshold and x_Com variables provided for clarification. TIBC measures the blood's capacity to bind iron with transferrin and is measured by drawing blood and measuring the maximum amount of iron that it can carry which indirectly measures transferrin as transferrin is the most dynamic iron carrier. Data provided by an external lab and was measured on the Siemens Dimension RXL autoanalyser using reagents purchased from Siemens. Only measured on 10000+ Fenland volunteers so far as it is not part of the routine set of measurements.
