Free erythrocyte porphyrin: hemoglobin ratios, serum ferritin, and transferrin saturation levels during treatment of infants with iron-deficiency anemia.

چکیده
Free erythrocyte porphyrin:hemoglobin (FEP:Hb) ratios were determined on 20 infants with iron-deficiency anemia. FEB:Hb ratios were compared with simultaneously drawn serum ferritin and serum transferrin saturation levels. FEP:Hb ratios dropped steadily during treatment of the anemic infants, but remained elevated compared to age-matched nonanemic infants, until the anemia was corrected. FEP:Hb ratios detected iron deficiency when acute inflammatory disease was present. Serum ferritin levels and transferrin saturation failed to detect iron deficiency after iron therapy was started or when acute inflammatory disease was present. Measurement of FEP:Hb ratios is a reliable and practical way to make a prompt diagnosis of iron-deficiency anemia in infants.

Effects of Iron in Neonates and Young Infants: a Review
Iron is essential to erythrocyte oxygen transport and is a catalyst for oxidative metabolism in all cells. Iron is absorbed by the duodenum and requires an acidic environment for optimal absorption. Iron is found for 70% in erythrocytes, and 30% in storage, and a small amount in myoglobin and cytochromes. Iron supplementation reduces anemia in breastfed infants and increases in significant dose...

Introduction: Hemodialysis patients often develop resistance to recombinant human erythropoietin due to functional Iron Deficiency. In these patients iron therapy can be hazardous leading to hemosiderosis. Recent studies have suggested that intravenous ascorbic acid may be able to improve this hyporeponsiveness. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of intravenous ascorbic acid on fu...

متن کاملSerum prohepcidin levels in children with solid tumors, inflammatory bowel disease and iron deficiency anemia.
BACKGROUND Prohepcidin is one of the regulators of iron metabolism. Few studies examined its relation with solid tumors (ST), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in children. METHODS We measured serum prohepcidin (SP), soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR), serum ferritin (SF), serum iron (SI), transferrin saturation (TS), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C...
