Blood work results

Can someone break down what these UIBC and TIBC abbreviations actually mean on a blood test? What am I looking at here?

These are just measurements for serum iron-binding capacity and total transferrin (UIBC and TIBC).

That essentially represents the body's iron stores. When treating iron-deficiency anemia, these are the most reliable indicators of progress; monitoring ferritin and transferrin reveals the current status, much like how A1C works for managing diabetes.
