Similar results were also observed in transferrin saturation. While transferrin manifested a negative association with epigenetic age accelerations (EAAs) sensitivity analyses. Besides, lack of solid evidence to support a causal relationship from EAAs to iron-related biomarkers. Conclusions The results of ...
However, the test's value in chronic IDA is debated since its use is not widespread in clinical settings, particularly in resource-limited areas that may benefit the most [1]. 3.2.9. Ferritin-bound iron & ferritin saturation Ferritin, essential for evaluating iron status, varies in its iron...
Although there are a variety of tests to assess iron stores, studies have shown the most efficient test is the serumferritin. A serum ferritin level greater than 100 ng/mL essentially rules outiron deficiency.8Other “classic” tests such as serum iron levels and transferrin saturation, have lo...
Iron-related biomarkers, such as ferritin and transferrin saturation [13], along with anemia-related biomarkers including folate, vitamin B12 [14], and vitamin D [15], are pivotal in the comprehensive study of anemia. Despite the lack of observed associations between serum hemoglobin, ferritin, ...
In the second one, used in the US in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) II and III, the multiple-criteria model is used to classify ID; it consists of two or three abnormal values for transferrin saturation, SF and erythrocyte protoporphyrin (Cogswell et al., 2009...
Integration with Other Biomarkers: combine stable isotope techniques with other biomarkers of iron status (e.g., serum ferritin, transferrin saturation, hepcidin) to provide a comprehensive assessment of iron kinetics in different physiological states and during interventions. These techniques could help ...
Measuring TF saturation (<16%) is unnecessary for diagnosis, although it has diagnostic value in functional deficiency when serum ferritin is unreliable. Hepcidin levels, which are low/undetectable in absolute iron deficiency, are also unnecessary. Exceptions are the rare IRIDA patients who show low...
(HFrEF) who were stable while receiving medical therapy were eligible to participate if they had objective evidence of iron deficiency (ferritin 15-100 ng/mL or between 100-299 ng/mL with a transferrin saturation [Tsat] level <20%) and hemoglobin levels between 9 and 15 g/dL (men) or ...
