RESUMO

The total iron-binding capacity of serum has been estimated using a colorimetric method, a radioisotopic technique, and a method employing immunodiffusion. The modified isotopic technique described was considered to be the method of choice. The total iron-binding capacity starts to increase at an early stage of an iron-deficiency anaemia. It is decreased in infectious and malignant disease. Close correlation exists between the level of saturation of the total iron-binding capacity and the haemoglobin level in patients with uncomplicated iron-deficiency anaemia.
