Immunological measurement of transferrin compared with chemical measurement of total iron-binding capacity.

Investigating Changes in the Serum Iron, TIBC (Total Iron Binding Capacity) and Transferrin Levels in Patients with Morbid Obesity Undergoing Bariatric Surgery in Kerman in 2018: A Short Report

Background and Objectives: Bariatric surgery is one of the most effective treatments for obesity. This study was designed to investigate changes in the serum iron, TIBC (Total Iron Binding Capacity) and transferrin levels in patients with morbid obesity undergoing bariatric surgery in Kerman in 2018. Materials and Methods: This prospective study was carried out on 65 participants who had gone ...

Chemical and immunochemical measurement of total iron-binding capacity compared.

Radiometric, colorimetric, and two immunochemical methods for measuring total iron-binding capacity are compared. We evaluated the procedures on the basis of precision, applicability to a pediatric population, and accuracy as assessed by analytical recovery of purified transferrin. The immunoephelometric assay for transferrin provides significant advantages over the other methods examined.

Comparison of 8 different colorimetric, radiochemical and immunological procedures for the determination of iron binding capacity.

Two radiochemical (Irosorb 59 and Res-O-Mat Fc), a mechanized (DSA 560) and several manual colorimetric procedures (test combination of Roche, Merck and Haury) for the determination of the total iron binding capacity were compared with the transferrin-binding capacity (immunoprecipitation). Whereas all methods show a satisfactory correlation with the transferrin concentration, most colorimetric...

Indicators of the iron status of populations: free erythrocyte protoporphyrin and zinc protoporphyrin; serum and plasma iron, total iron binding capacity and transferrin saturation; and serum transferrin receptor

Lymphocyte labile iron pool, plasma iron, transferrin saturation and ferritin levels in colon cancer patients.

Patients with colorectal carcinoma showed statistically significant lower values of transferrin saturation, total iron binding capacity and serum iron level as compared with control group, while the level of ferritin and the size of labile iron pool in carcinoma patients were higher, although this difference was not statistically significant. Our observations are in favour of the hypothesis whi...
