Research data were collected by means of the questionnaire and statistically analyzed by frequency, percentage, standard deviation, t-test, F-test and correlation analysis using SPSS/win. The results of this study were summarized as follows: There were significant differences in the degree of ...
In Vitro Intravenous Iron sucrose results in a statistically significant increase in hemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume, serum iron, ferritin, and % iron saturation, with a corresponding decrease in total iron binding capacity[1]. In vitro survival assays show that 10 mM ascorbate exposure (2h) ...

The results revealed that Fe had a positive correlation with Hb, HCT, MCV, and MCH and a negative association with N/L ratio, ESR, and hs-CRP. Transferrin saturation had a positive correlation with WBC, Hb, MCV, MCH, and Fe and an inverse association with N/L ratio, ESR, and hs-...
saturation of the iron transport protein transferrin (i.e., low level of transferrin saturation—TSAT). Functional ID is described by normal iron stores, but iron cannot be released sufficiently due to internalized ferroportin channels, caused by hepcidin [11,16]. This results in normal ferritin...
Interpreting test results The results of transferrin tests, TIBC, or UIBC are usually evaluated in conjunction with other iron tests. A summary of the changes in iron tests seen in various diseases of iron status is shown in the table below. DiseaseIronTIBC/TransferrinUIBC%Transferrin SaturationFer...
