BACKGROUND Despite high ferritin level, HDCKD patients may have functional iron deficiency even after intravenous iron (iv) therapy. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that lowered serum transferrin level may contribute to functional anemia and erythropoietin hypo responsiveness by the failure to transport accumulated tissue iron to the relevant target tissue. MATERIALS AND METH...

Trace elements such as iron play essential roles in the metabolic and immune functions of body. Anaemia is known to suppresses immunity it was assessed based on deficiency. The present study done elucidate correlation deficiency anaemia chronic recurrent tonsillitis. A 1 -year observational conducted 100 patients with tonsillitis were included. Serum estimated by spectrometry. Anemia Hb levels,...

Body iron contributes to pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD) through formation of free radicals by Fenton and Haber-Weiss reactions. Free radicals cause lipid peroxidation leading to formation of atherosclerotic plaques by deposition of modified low density lipoprotein (LDL). However, the relationship between body iron indices and acute myocardial infarction remains ambiguous. The pre...

SUMMARY Giardia is a protozoan parasite which exists in the small intestine in man. This parasite could act as a barrier against fat absorption. It also results in anemia as a result of interference with folic acid vitamin B6 and probably iron absorption. In this study a total of 198 infested and 35 non­infested school children were studied for serum Iron and TIBC. The results showed the Iron...

the major purpose of the present investigation was to study the effects of different concentrations of residual chlorine on serum iron related parameters in rats. feeding male rats with water containing 80 ppm of residual chlorine daily for 5 days reduced serum levels of ceruloplasmin, copper, iron and hemoglobin by approximately 27%,23%,6% and 4%, respectively. higher reductions in serum cerul...

BACKGROUND We studied the effect of iron deficiency on liver regeneration and innate immunity - respiratory burst of PMN. METHODS Wistar rats, males (M) and females (F) had sham withdrawals or males (M-w) and females (F-w) had nine blood withdrawals every week. All rats were sacrificed in 10(th) week after 67% hepatectomy (PH) after (3)H-thymidin application. We determined erythrocyte and leu...

Iron deficiency anaemia is a common tropical disease. Iron plays a very important role in the human body. The understanding of the different blood groups ability to retain iron in their system can give an insight into their ability to handle the disease Iron deficiency anaemia. Serum Iron, Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) and Percentage Transferrin Saturation (percentage TS) levels were studi...

although, iron depletion is a common disorder among athletes, little data exist regarding the effect of gymnastic training on iron status. the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of gymnastic exercise on body iron status and hematologic profile. the present investigation involved 35 male gymnasts aged from 6 to14 yrs. serum ferritin level, total iron binding capacity (tibc), iron...

Malnutrition, anemia, and micronutrient deficits may be associated with Enterobius vermicularis infection. Hence, the subject has recently received a lot of attention. The goal this study was to analyse nutritional, hematological status children infected E. vermicularis. This research carried out in Baghdad from October 2021 end March 2022. comprised 100 both sexes, ranging age 3-16 years. All ...

BACKGROUND Obese children are at the risk of micronutrient deficiency especially iron deficiency. Given the importance of iron deficiency in this age group and considering the existing discrepancies, present study was performed with the aim of evaluating iron deficiency in obese children. MATERIAL AND METHOD This study was conducted, in the form of a case-control study, on 100 children aged b...
