Reduced Transferrin Levels in Active Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an inflammatory disease of unclear etiopathogenesis and challenging diagnosis, frequently complicated by anemia and malnutrition. C-reactive protein (CRP) remains the only biochemical marker of clinical relevance. The aim of this study was to test hypothesis that transferrin, coinfluenced by inflammation, malnutrition, anemia, and oxidative stress, may better...
متن کاملValue of Serum Transferrin Receptor Levels in Assessing Iron Status in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Background: It is difficult to assess iron status in patients with chronic inflammatory conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Currently available tests including serum ferritin and transferrin saturation have limitations in differentiating Iron Deficiency Anaemia (IDA) from Anaemia of Chronic Disease (ACD). Serum soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) level has been proposed as a po...
متن کاملNeonatal Presentation of Unremitting Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Very-early-onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEO-IBD) has a distinct phenotype and should be considered a specific entity. VEO-IBD presents with very severe clinical pictures and is frequently known by an indeterminate colitis whose clinical remission is unmanageable. This study examines the case of a neonate with VEO-IBD, not responding to medical and surgical treatment. A 7-day-old Iranian fe...
متن کاملINFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE Clinical significance of azathioprine active metabolite concentrations in inflammatory bowel disease
Background and aims: There are conflicting reports on the role of azathioprine (AZA) thioguanine nucleotide (TGN) metabolites in optimising therapy for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The aim of this study was to investigate TGN intrapatient variation, and the relationship between TGN concentrations and disease activity in IBD patients taking long term constant dose AZA. Methods: TGN and meth...
متن کاملSweet Syndrome Accompanying Inflammatory Bowel Disease in a Child
Acute neutrophilic dermatosis, first described in 1964 by Robert Douglas Sweet, is characterized by sudden onset fever, neutrophilic leukocytosis, and well demarcated erythematous papules, nodules, and plaques with dense neutrophilic infiltrates on histologic evaluation.Here is a report of a 7-year-old girl who presented with high grade fever, and discrete erythematous papular skin eruptions, w...
