An iron blood test can show whether you have too much or too little of this important mineral in your blood. Find out why your doctor might call for this test, and what the results mean.
The highest rate of colorectal cancer was found in subjects with both iron deficiency anemia and positive occult blood test result. These findings indicate positive associations between iron deficiency anemia and immunochemical occult blood test results, and between iron deficiency an...
Iron absorption and incorporation into red blood cells by very low birth weight infants: studies with the stable isotope 58Fe. Measurements of iron absorption and incorporation into RBCs were obtained with the stable isotope 58Fe, administered as a reference dose, in 11 premature i... RA Ehren...
Thus the formula for calculating the volume of blood to be removed to achieve a predetermined decrement in serum ferritin concentration was accurate and phlebotomy was not associated with any adverse laboratory or clinical effects. Conclusions Reduction of body iron stores to a predetermined level is ...
Results Viscosity did not differ between patients with iron deficiency (n = 14) and those without (n = 25). Whole blood viscosity correlated with Hct (r = 0.63, p < 0.001 at low shear and r = 0.84, p < 0.001 at high shear) but not with red blood cell size or iron indices. Hype...
However,Plasmodiumspp. undergo their asexual lifecycles in the unusual environment of the red blood cell, with very high levels of iron in the form of haemoglobin. In contrast, the ubiquitous pathogenT. gondiiis a generalist and so faces different iron stresses throughout its lifecycle. We were...
Similar results were obtained for the oilfield water samples wherein MP (12.6 ± 2.1 ng/µl for oilfield water 1, 30.2 ± 1.4 ng/µl for oilfield water 2) yielded significantly (p-value < 0.001) higher concentration of DNA than PS kit (2.7 ± 1.8 ng/µl ...
Background Obese individuals are more likely to have either lower blood concentrations or lower bioavailability of minerals and/or vitamins.However,there a... 李颖,孙长颢 被引量: 83发表: 2010年 A randomised comparison of increase in serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration after 4 weeks of daily...
Blood was obtained from 1193 participants, with iron status indicated by haemoglobin, serum ferritin and transferrin saturation.Results: Iron intakes were generally adequate in most young people aged 4–18 years. However, low iron intakes (below the Lower Reference Nutrient Intake) occurred in 44% ...
3-6 Iron contributes to erythropoiesis and therefore iron deficiency decreases O2-carrying capacity of the blood through reduced hemoglobin levels. Iron is also an obligate component of enzymes involved in cellular respiration, oxidative phosphorylation, vascular homeostasis, nitric oxide generation, and ...
