The diagnostic criteria were: anaemia: Hb < 130 g L1 (a); iron deficiency: serum ferritin (SF) < 12 渭g L1 + transferrin saturation (TS) < 16% (b); iron deficiency anaemia a + b. Iron overload: SF (90th percentile) + TS (90th percentile) in repeat tests.Setting. Central ...
Through a critical lens, we elucidate the current paradigms and pressing questions surrounding the diagnostic criteria and clinical ramifications of iron metabolism. By weaving together the nuances and diverging perspectives within the domain of iron deficiency diagnosis and management, this review aspires...
The diagnostic criteria for iron deficiency in infants should be reevaluated. Diagnostic criteria for iron deficiency (ID) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in infants are poorly defined. Our aim was to establish appropriate cut-off v... Domellof Magnus,KG Dewey,Lonnerdal Bo,... - 《Journal...
Here we present three patients who demonstrated subtle changes in pica associated with iron deficiency. We believe that this was due to advances in technology and changing cultural customs. Each patient fully meets the criteria for pica from Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders [5] ...
Is analysis of the reticulocyte haemoglobin equivalent a useful test for the diagnosis of iron deficiency anaemia in geriatric patients? Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) and anaemia of chronic disease (ACD) are common in elderly patients but there are no standard diagnostic criteria. The reticu... E...
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 ...
Moreover, the diagnostic criteria for iron deficiency during pregnancy have not been agreed. In clinical practice, hemoglobin is frequently used solely to evaluate iron status, but this only provides an indication of anemia, meaning the clinical and functional impairments that develop before anemia ...
Objective:To realize the affecting factors of the Iron Deficiency Anemia(IDA) in pregnant and non-pregnant women in the Qingdao Area. And to provide reference for making preventive measures. Methods:Blood-Hb testing and the affecting factors questionnaire were investigated in 1314 child-bearing-aged...
The accurate diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia (IDA)9 in the developing world is challenging. Diagnostic criteria for women of reproductive age include hemoglobin concentration <120 g/L in conjunction with serum ferritin <15 μg/L or soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) >8.3 mg/L (1,18). Ho...
Anemia is not a disease but rather a symptom complex that may result from one of three underlying causes: (1) decreased production of RBCs (iron deficiency, pernicious anemia, folate deficiency), (2) blood loss, or (3) increased rate of destruction of circulating RBCs (hypersplenism, ...
