Where is ferritin found in the body? Ferritin is in the liver, spleen, skeletal muscles, and bone marrow. 7 What is the primary function of ferritin? Ferritin stores iron in cells and indicates body iron reserves. 6 Can ferritin levels diagnose anemia? Yes, low ferritin levels can indicate...
The hemoglobin and ferritin levels in neonates from mother with IDA was lower (9.2 gr%, 1.2 ng/mL, respectively) than healthy mothers (16.8 gr%, 2.3 ng/mL, respectively). The significant differences were found both in hemoglobin and ferritin level in neonates from ...
Hemoglobin levels and serum ferritin concentrations were measured in cord blood and maternal blood taken a few hours before birth. Maternal serum ferritin levels were 29.1±18.6 μg/l which is lower than values given for normal adult women. Serum ferritin levels in cord blood were 144.4±73.2 μ...
Introduction: To prevent blood donors from developing iron deficiency (ferritin <15 μg/L) and subsequent anemia (hemoglobin <120 g/L), blood services rely on information about known risk factors, including the donor's sex and age. For example, while Finnish women are able to donate whole ...
Low levels of hemoglobin indicate the presence of anemia, and the reason for the anemia should be determined. Hemoglobin (abbreviated Hgb or Hb) is the protein molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and returns carbon dioxide from the tissues back...
The medians of the serum ferritin and FHR levels were significantly higher in non-survivors compared with survivors (serum ferritin: 717.71 vs. 305.67 ng/mL, p = 0.013; FHR: 52.73 vs. 19.58, p = 0.016). Serum ferritin and FHR were good predictors for organ failure and mortality, next ...
Therefore, this study aimed to explore the association between maternal vitamin D level in the first trimester and intrauterine fetal biometry in the later stage of pregnancy. Other determinants such as maternal characteristics, ferritin, and hemoglobin level were also calculated for adjustment....

56-day minimum inter-donation interval for donors in the US may not be sufficient for the recovery of hemoglobin and iron stores. That’s why it’s best for donors to monitor their iron and ferritin levels, and use iron supplements if necessary or to prolong the inter-donation period [41...
At baseline and endline, blood samples were taken.The development of hemoglobin, ferritin (FER) and soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) did not differ significantly between the intervention and control groups. However, in the intervention group, Hb levels improved slightly (2.2%), while they ...
