Blood test: Your doctor can order a serum iron test. https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/003488.htm Iron test checks : amt if iron bound to transferrin in serum. Amt of iron needed to bind to all of the transferrin =total iron-binding capacity (TIBC). % of transferrin with iron bound to them= transferrin saturation.
