Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Decreased total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) is often seen in conditions where there is an abundance of iron or where the body's ability to utilize or transport iron is compromised. This can occur in hemolytic anemias (A) due to the release of iron from destroyed red blood cells, in neoplastic diseases (B) due to the body's altered iron metabolism in response to cancer, and in cirrhosis (D) due to liver dysfunction affecting iron metabolism.
