Diagnosis of Iron Deficiency and Iron Deficiency Anemia with Reticulocyte Hemoglobin Content among Children Aged 6-18 Years
Background: Iron deficiency (ID) is the most common micronutrient deficiency in the world. If left untreated, ID will lead to iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and other irreversible consequences. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommended reticulocyte hemoglobin content (Ret-He) as an alternative laboratory examination to screen and detect ID. We aimed to compare Ret-He with other laboratory pa...
متن کاملAssessment of Mean Corpuscular Volume as a Surrogate Marker for Detecting Early Iron Deficiency among School Children

متن کاملScreening healthy infants for iron deficiency using reticulocyte hemoglobin content.
CONTEXT Current clinical practice relies on hemoglobin to detect iron deficiency, which misses infants not yet anemic and places them at higher risk for neurocognitive impairment. Reticulocyte hemoglobin content (CHr) has never been compared with hemoglobin for screening healthy infants. OBJECTIVES To evaluate CHr for detecting iron deficiency without anemia in healthy 9- to 12-month-old infa...
متن کاملLaboratory Diagnosis of Iron Deficiency
Until about 20 years ago, the diagnosis of iron deficiency was justifiably considered a simple matter. The focus of attention was then on hospitalized patients with a severe or moderate degree of anemia. When iron deficiency was suspected, the diagnosis could be substantiated by a decrease in serum iron, an elevation in the total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), and the typical changes of microcyt...
