Based on our results, the determination of the algorithm in the iron deficiency detection is necessary, while the capillary method (HemoCue) represents a more convenient method for Hb testing prior to blood donation.doi:10.2298/VSP190327063KKova Mirjana...
Apart from challenging the bone marrow to increase its red cell production, thereby producing more blood for the donor, regular blood donation has been shown to have several benefits, one of which is preventing accumulation of body iron which can cause free radical formation in the body. This ...
-blood donation (250 mg iron) -runner's anemia (cause unknown) groups more susceptible to iron deficiency infants breast feeding beyond 6 months, anyone with poor diet, menstruating women, pregnant women (for fetus and placenta) clinical symptoms ...
Understanding the underlying mechanism and factors responsible for iron accumulation in the body is crucial for understanding the pathomechanism of several diseases. Several non-genetic factors, such as ethanol, tea, coffee consumption, blood donation and exercise, positively or negatively influence iron ...
Blood donation, excessive blood collection Haemodialysis Medications – NSAIDs, aspirin, anticoagulants Iatrogenic; Self-inflicted (Munchausen syndrome) Exercise Multifactorial - diet, decreased absorption, increased loss in sweat, gastrointestinal bleeding, and intravascular haemolysis with haemoglobinuria (“ma...
However, possible limitation of this study may be related to the regression model which examined crude OR because we could not adjust some potential confounders such as age, sex, body mass index (BMI)14, history of recent blood donation, the length of menstruation, and amount of blood loss ...
However, it is unlikely that blood donation affected our results in this elderly sample because until recently US blood banks generally had a maximum donor age of 65 y (55, 56). It is also well known that use of both estrogen and progesterone may cause breakthrough bleeding in postmenopausal...
Frequent blood donation can deplete iron stores. People who frequently donate blood are at risk. Adults who have internal bleeding Those diseases that can lead to internal bleeding increase the risk of iron deficiency anemia. People who get kidney dialysis ...
Iron is essential for many biological functions and iron deficiency and overload have major health implications. We performed a meta-analysis of three genome-wide association studies from Iceland, the UK and Denmark of blood levels of ferritin (N =
In line with our findings, it was concluded that the use of iron therapy for preoperative anaemia did not show a clinically significant reduction in the proportion of patients who received an allogeneic blood transfusion compared to no iron therapy. Three other systematic reviews, including RCTs ...
