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 ...
Anemia in older adults is a risk factor for numerous negative outcomes. There is no standard definition, but in most studies, anemia is defined as a hemoglobin value <12 g/dL for women and <13 g/dL for men. Absolute iron deficiency anemia is defined as the combination of anemia and 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, e...

“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...

2.2. Clinical factors influencing the laboratory diagnosis of iron deficiency The interpretation of laboratory results for diagnosing iron deficiency is influenced by myriad clinical factors (Table 1). Factors such as age, gender, ethnicity, pregnancy status, smoking habits, and altitude play roles in...
