Serum hepcidin levels and iron parameters in children with iron deficiency
BACKGROUND Iron deficiency (ID) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) are common nutritional disorders in children. Hepcidin, a peptide hormone produced in the liver, is a central regulator of systemic iron metabolism. We evaluated whether serum hepcidin levels can diagnose ID in children. METHODS Sera from 59 children (23 males and 36 females; 5 months to 17 years) were analyzed for hepcidin-25 b...
متن کاملSerum and erythrocyte folates in combined iron and folate deficiency.
A high incidence of iron and folate deficiency was found in 80 female subjects living in a private institution. Iron therapy in individuals with low serum iron values resulted in a significant increase in hemoglobin levels. An improvement in serum and RBC folate levels was also found following iron therapy but this could not be attributed to treatment since a similar increase was observed in un...
متن کاملPlasma and erythrocyte folate in iron deficiency and folate deficiency.
I T WAS SHOWN by Toennies et a!.1 that most of the blood folate is within the erythrocytes. The erythrocyte folate level may be reduced in either folate or vitamin B12 deficiency,25 and it can be used as an index of the folate content of body tissues.4 The present paper reports that in iron deficiency anemia there are abnormalities in distribution of folate between plasma and erythrocytes which...

متن کاملHaematological implications of folate food fortification.
Reports from some Western countries indicate that mandatory folate food fortification (FFF) has substantially reduced the prevalence of folate deficiency, leading to calls for folate testing following FFF to be limited to specific indications such as macrocytic anaemia. This is premature for low-income countries, where folate deficiency is predominantly the result of poor intake coupled with th...
