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...

background: a close relationship has been reported between level of serum iron and ischemic heart diseases which is either brought about through direct effect of serum iron on myocardial cells or as an indirect result of elevated serum lipid profile. a widespread use of iron supplements has been observed due to the high prevalence of iron deficiency anemia. yet an elevated serum lipid is strong...

The aim of this observational study was to biochemically characterize the anaemia in GCA (giant cell arteritis) and PMR (polymyalgia rheumatica) patients. Values for mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin and soluble transferrin receptor were normal, whereas serum iron and total iron binding capacity (TIBC) were subnormal, and mean ferritin was above the upper reference limit. Iro...

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to reveal the extent which they meet their daily energy and nutrient needs relationship with development of anemia by examining dietary records women in premenopausal postmenopausal periods. Material Methods: Obese participating study were divided into two groups according premenopause (36-45 years old) postmenopause (46-73 old). Anthropometric measurements n...
