Go ahead and pull down your lower eyelid and check to see if you have this. Not everyone with iron deficiency anemia looks pale because you have to be very deficient in iron before you present with that specific symptom. Lips will match the color of your skin instead of being pink. ...
Serum iron, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), and serum ferritin– Low iron and ferritin levels with an elevated TIBC indicate iron deficiency. Low ferritin on its own is typically indicative of iron deficiency as well, but in some conditions, patients will have normal ferritin levels while s...
Interestingly, among 118 individuals aged 10 years and older, MV-specific IgG antibody titers in individuals with iron deficiency (serum iron < 50 µg/dl) were markedly lower than those in individuals with normal iron levels (serum iron ≥ 50 µg/dl). Consistent results were...
We generated 3 lines of transgenic mice with graded erythroid overexpression of ERFE and found that they developed dose-dependent iron overload, impaired hepatic BMP signaling, and relative hepcidin deficiency. These findings add to the evidence that ERFE is a mediator of iron overload in ...
