Mixed Cbl/folate deficiency complicates the interpretation of the laboratory workup of megaloblastic anemia (Table 1.1). Falsely normal levels of Cbl are rare with clinically overt deficiency but may be observed in association with myeloproliferative disorders, liver disease, intestinal bacterial ...
Measurement of C-reactive protein was performed to exclude false-negative result of iron deficiency. The prevalence of anemia was found to be 25.1%. ID accounted for only 10.5%. Various types of thalassemia were identified in 67.7% of the subjects. The overall prevalence of thalassemia included ...
Other laboratory tests, such as transferrin saturation, soluble transferrin receptor and the soluble transferrin receptor/ferritin index might provide useful information, but there is a wide variety in the cut-off values and interpretation of the results. Recent research regarding hepcidin as a central...

Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is among the most common extraintestinal sequelae of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Intravenous iron is often the preferred treatment in patients with active inflammation with or without active bleeding, iron malabsorption, or intolerance to oral iron. The aim of the...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac tachyarrhythmia and has a rising global prevalence. Given the increasing burden of AF-related symptoms and complications, new approaches to management are required. Anemia and iron deficiency are common conditions in patients with AF. Furthermore, ...
“Ferritinophagy” is a process by which cells can recover iron in iron deficiency anemia. It is mediated through the protein “nuclear receptor coactivator 4” (NCOA4), whose expression is regulated by iron. NCOA4 binds to the iron storage protein “ferritin” and promotes its autophagy-media...
