Fasting Patients scheduled for an iron level, TIBC, or transferrin test should fast for 12 hours before the blood is drawn. They are allowed to drink water. Patients scheduled for a ferritin test do not need to fast but they should not have any alcoholic beverages before the test. ...

In a meta-analysis of 10 sTfR studies, sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative likelihood ratios were 86%, 75%, 3.85, and 0.19, respectively [50]. Elevated sTfR levels are also a characteristic feature of FID, observed in people who donate blood regularly or patients on ESAs. ...
Indeed, prior cross-sectional studies have shown iron to be negatively associated with HDL cholesterol and positively associated with fasting blood sugar, triglyceride and blood pressure levels [11]. However, the results are inconsistent [12]. This inconsistency could be due to several factors such ...
In previous studies, it was observed that the growth spurt associated with menstrual status, blood loss and a low iron intake may have adverse effects on iron stores in adolescents girls (Ilich-Ernst et al., 1998). Conclusions Our study confirms SF and sTfR as biochemical indicators that ...

MedixTM Ery-Tic RBC test kits were used to count red blood cells (RBCs) (Medix Corp., Newbury Park, CA, USA). Plasma volume (PV) and blood volume (BV) were determined using the Evan’s Blue dye technique. After a pre-injection blood sample was collected, ~0.5–1.2 mg kg...
Blood samples were collected from nonfasting subjects by venipuncture into evacuated EDTA-coated tubes. One day after collection, the samples were received at the Jean Mayer US Department of Agriculture Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University, where clinical chemistry analyses were...
