Elevated serum ferritin concentrations in prediabetic subjects.
BACKGROUND Few data are available on the association of variables of the insulin resistance syndrome and serum ferritin, an indicator of body iron stores. We examined the relationship between serum ferritin levels and impaired fasting glucose, a pre-diabetes stage associated with insulin resistance, in this study. SUBJECTS & METHODS One hundred and eighty seven people, including 91 subjects w...
متن کاملSerum ferritin levels in apparently healthy subjects.
Serum ferritin levels were estimated in 78 normal subjects (46 males and 37 females) using radioimmunoassay techniques. The mean serum ferritin level in normal men was 83 ng/ml (range 7.4 190.0 ng/ml), compared with 43 ng/ml (range 5.1 — 104 ng/mI) in normal women. The difference in the mean ferritin level between the two sexes was significant. A concentration below 10 ng/mI was associated with...
متن کاملHemoglobin and Ferritin Concentrations in Subjects with Metabolic Syndrome
BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome (MetS), a clinical condition characterized by insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and obesity, has been linked with raised levels of serum ferritin (Sfr) concentrations. OBJECTIVES This study was carried out to compare hemoglobin (Hb) and Sfr concentrations in patients with MetS, regular donors and first-time donors. MATERIALS A...
متن کاملHigh Serum Ferritin Concentrations in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Is Not Related to Insulin Resistance
OBJECTIVE: Some data are available on the association between components of the insulin resistance syndrome and serum ferritin. Insulin resistance is observed in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) We hypothesize that body iron stores might be increased in these women. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two hundred and six people (103 PCOS patients and 103 healthy women who were matched for a...
متن کاملVolatility of elevated serum ferritin in anemic hemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND Value of serum ferritin (SF) as an iron store index in hemodialysis (HD) patients has been questioned, especially at ranges >or=200. The objective of this study was to determine the variability of SF in patients with high SF (500-1,200.) and low TSAT (<or=25%). METHODS This was a multicenter observational study. Data were obtained from Dialysis Patients' Response to IV Iron with El...
