TIBC is usually higher than normal when the body’s iron supplies are low. This can occur with: Iron deficiency anemia. Pregnancy (late)
In iron-deficient conditions, the relative transferrin content compared to iron content increases, and thus the TIBC values are high. The opposite happens in iron overloaded states of the body; the quantity of free transferrin in blood decreases, and consequently, TIBC values are low.
