Iron deficiency (ID) with or without anemia has important consequences for human health and child development: anemic women and their infants are at greater risk of dying during the perinatal period; children’s mental and physical development is delayed or impaired by iron deficiency; and the physical work capacity and productivity of manual workers may be reduced [1]. There have been many effo...

Background and objectives : Anemia prevalence, especially iron deficiency anemia, among Indonesian toddlers is high. Iron may interfere nerve development also cause immune problems. Protein malnutrition anemia. The prevalence higher in 6-23 months age group due to the increase need. However, correlations between protein intake with hemoglobin levels are still showing different results researche...

Iron deficiency and heterozygous beta-thalassemia are important causes of hypochromic-microcytic anemia. Two laboratory parameters are suggested for the differentiation of such anemia. High-fluorescence reticulocyte counts and soluble transferrin receptor levels were determined in iron-deficiency anemia patients (n = 49) and heterozygous beta-thalassemia patients (n = 43). There was no signific...

In this study the size of reticulocytes was measured, reticulocyte-Y (Ret-Y), to distinguish iron deficiency anemia from the anemia of chronic disease using a Sysmex XE2100 cell counter. We evaluated this parameter prospectively in 100 patients seen for the evaluation of anemia. A clinical diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia or anemia of chronic disease was made on the basis of a complete blood...

Abnormal platelet counts have been obby a fall in platelet counts and platelet served in patients with iron deficiency production to normal levels within 72 hr. at anemia. To study this relationship. rats which time stainable iron had appeared in were made iron deficient, and platelet prothe bone marrow. An inverse relationship duction was estimated by radiosulfate inbetween platelet counts and...

Background. Iron deficiency anemia impacts on cognitive development. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of anemia and iron deficiency in children with Down syndrome and identify risk factors for anemia. Methods. We conducted a prolective cross-sectional study of children attending a multidisciplinary Down syndrome medical center. One hundred and forty nine children with...

The prevalence of nutritional iron deficiency anemia in infants and toddlers has declined dramatically since 1960. However, satisfaction with this achievement must be tempered because iron deficiency anemia in infants and toddlers is associated with long-lasting diminished mental, motor, and behavioral functioning. Additionally, the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia in one- to three-year-old...

differential diagnosis of iron-deficiency anemia and beta-thalassemia, two common causes of anemia, affects the treatment in pregnant women. to help the diagnosis, we have tried to asses the pure effect of gestation on diagnostic criteria, eliminating iron and folate deficiency. in a prospective study, 46 thalassemic women were given ferrous sulphate tablets and folate. some indices, cbc and hb...

Article history: Received: 9 Mar 2013 Accepted: 29 May 2013 Available online: 12 June 2013 ZJRMS 2014; 16 (6): 30-32 Background: Visual evoked potential is one of the main methods to investigate visual pathway. Some studies in children show that iron deficiency anemia affects on visual evoked potential waves. In this study, we evaluated the effect of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia o...
