UIBC
Total iron binding capacity minus serum iron.
Subtraction of two numbers already printed on the same panel.
This one isn’t a test
UIBC = TIBC − Serum Iron
No extra sample was taken for this and no extra assay was run. It is arithmetic on numbers already on your report, but it still adds a line to the advertised test count.
Computed from Serum Iron and TIBC.
That does not make the number useless: eGFR is calculated and doctors act on it every day. It means it should not be counted as a separate test when you are comparing what a package costs.
