<unk>  <unk>  or sometimes transferrin<unk><unk><unk>  is a medical laboratory test that measures the blood's<unk>  to bind<unk>  with transferrin. Transferrin can bind two atoms of ferric<unk>  (Fe3+) with high affinity. It means that transferrin has the<unk>  to transport approximately from 1.40 to 1.49 mg of<unk>  per gram of transferrin present in the blood. It is performed by drawing blood and measuring the maximum amount of<unk>  that it can carry, which indirectly measures transferrin since transferrin is the most dynamic carrier. If<unk>  values are known, the transferrin concentration can be estimated with the following formulas: * Transferrin (mg/dL) = 0.8 x<unk>  (µg of<unk> /dL) – 43 * Transferrin (mg/dL) = 0.7 x<unk>  (µg of<unk> /dL) To measure<unk>  in the blood is less expensive than a direct measurement of transferrin. The<unk>  should not be confused with the unsaturated<unk><unk><unk>  or UIBC (LOINC , & ). The UIBC is calculated by subtracting the serum<unk>  from the<unk> .
