چکیده

We determined serum transferrin receptor (sTfR), serum erythropoietin and hematologic and biochemical iron parameters in 251 healthy children. The levels of sTfR were significantly higher in children with storage iron deficiency but had a poor sensivity for recognizing iron deficiency without anemia. When ferritin values cannot accurately demonstrate the iron deficiency in children, the sTfR/ferritin ratio or sTfR-log ferritin is recommended to discriminate iron deficiency in the absence of anemia.

The usefulness of soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) in differentiating anemia occurring in young children.

We evaluated the usefulness of soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) and of the sTfR/log ferritin index(sTfR/logF) in the differentiation of anemia in young children. 96 children, aged 6-36 months, were examined.From these, four groups were distinguished: 1 - (IDA): 33 children with anemia due to iron deficiency; 2 -(IA): 19 children with infectious anemia without iron deficiency; 3 - (IA + ID): ...
