The Iron and TIBC is a pair of blood tests that shows if there is too much or too little iron in the blood. Iron is carried in the blood attached to the protein transferrin. This test helps measure the ability of a protein called transferrin to carry iron in the blood.
The Urinalysis with Microscopic test is performed to detect the presence of some possible substances in the blood in order to give a first alert for many possible problems. For example to screen for metabolic and kidney disorders and for urinary tract infections. This test is done during a routine physical or when there are symptoms of a urinary tract infection, such as abdominal pain, back pain, frequent or painful urination, or blood in the urine. Also as part of a pregnancy checkup, a hospital admission, or a pre-surgical work-up.
