Iron Studies: Transferrin is a protein in your body made by the liver, that binds iron. An Iron panel looks at iron levels, TIBC, Transferrin, Ferritin and all that data give us information on your iron stores in the body. The physician will also review MCV value on the CBC. All in all, more data is needed to interpret these results. I would refer you back to the physician who ordered the tests.
