Regular blood donation often cause iron deficiency. Changes of platelet count have been associated with deficiency anemia. We aimed to study the correlation between serum ferritin and in donors.

Some enzymes and intermediates of heme synthesis were determined in blood and urine of 26 women with severe iron deficiency anemia (IDA). Erythrocyte free protoporphyrin was almost doubled and delta-aminolevulinate dehydrase significantly raised. But urinary excretion of delta-aminolevulinic acid and reticulocyte ferrochelatase were significantly reduced in iron deficiency anemia. Hence these c...

This study was to evaluate the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia and the associated factors of anemia during pregnancy in the lower north of Thailand. A prospective study was conducted in pregnant women who attended the antenatal care clinic at Naresuan University hospital, Phitsanulok, from May 2008 May 2010. All subjects were from the lower northern region of Thailand. A complete blood cou...

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): ...

Iron-deficiency anemia (IAD) in children is the most common among other types of anemia. It is commonly presented in children aged between 6 36 months than at other age groups, according to a report. Pediatric iron-deficiency anemia might involve multiple etiological factors including low birth weight, nutritional deficiency, and gastrointestinal blood loss. Diagnosis is made on the basis of de...
