Unsaturated iron binding capacity and transferrin saturation are equally reliable in detection of HFE hemochromatosis.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Unsaturated iron binding capacity (UIBC) has been proposed as an inexpensive alternative to transferrin saturation for detection of hereditary hemochromatosis. The aim of this study was to compare, in a hospital referral clinic, the reliability of transferrin saturation and UIBC for detection of subjects who have inherited HFE (HLA-asociated iron overload) genotypes predisposing to iron overload....
