Blood samples collected in the context of clinical evaluation were used to obtain routine analytical data and to make additional determinations relevant to this study, as explained below. The interval between the SARS-CoV-2 PCR test and the first blood collection was less than 6 days for all ...
blood tests should be done at least twice a year. And as a quick reminder, people who are at risk of this mineral deficiency include vegans, vegetarians, females with irregular menstrual cycles, anyone with a past history of iron deficiency or unexplained levels of fatigue (despite adequate res...
Such conflicting results may in part be explained by the heterogeneity of subjects and methodology. Viscosity of whole blood varies according to shear rate (Fig. 1).Moreover, iron deficiency per se can also cause hyperviscosity-like symptoms such as headache, paresthesias, irritability, and ...
To investigate Fe nutritional indices in malaria infection in children, haematology (blood haemoglobin, plasma ferritin, transferrin, Fe, and transferrin saturation), acute phase markers (albumin and caeruloplasmin) and liver function tests were studied in fifty consecutive cases of severe and mild fal...

This automated technique quantifies the different types of hemoglobin in blood for interpretive diagnosis. It can detect normal hemoglobin (A, A2, and F), hemoglobin variants [E, H, and Constant Spring (CS)], and β-thalassemia. The Sebia analyzer has an advantage over other methodology ...
Half of pregnant women who had a simple blood test to check their iron stores had low iron levels, and one in four had severe iron deficiency, according to a paper published today in the journal Blood Advances. But despite how common iron deficiency is,
Serum ferritinandtransferrin saturationare blood tests that can detect iron overload, even before symptoms appear (Heli 2011; Fleming 2012; Muñoz 2011). Serum ferritin.This test measures the iron storage protein ferritin in the blood serum. While typically an intracellular storage protein, blood ...

Umbilical cord or neonatal blood (obtained in the first 3 d of life) was obtained for evaluation of serum ferritin concentra- tions, determined in duplicate by chemoluminescent immuno- assay (Beckman Access Immunoassay System; Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA, U.S.A.) (4, 5). Interassay ...
