What is hemoglobin (Hgb, Hb)? Low levels of hemoglobin indicate the presence of anemia, and the reason for the anemia should be determined. Hemoglobin (abbreviated Hgb or Hb) is the protein molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and returns ca...
In two children from B-thalassemic heter- ozygote mothers, the expression of H b A was lower than usual with a H b A/Hb Fac ratio below 0.5. This method already has been used for antenatal and neonatal diagnosis of 0-thalassemia (23, 24). If this foreign population is withdrawn, the...
We studied a healthy group of 286 children and 39 adults between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. and excluded 129 with any result that might suggest iron deficiency (either serum ferritin (SF) 3.0 渭g/g Hgb, or low MCV or Hgb for age) or hemoglobinopathy (abnormal Hgb electrophoresis). Means 卤...
The ratio of FEP/EP was determined for 853 children aged 6 mo to 12 yrs in whom FEP, ZEP, Hgb, and ferritin were determined (150 also had blood lead measured). The mean FEP/EP ratio for the entire group was 9.3% with a 95% range of 2.7 to 23.5%. The FEP/EP did not vary ...
Regression models were adjusted for the serum SFRP5 levels, the serum and umbilical cord ghrelin and leptin levels, LDL, triglycerides, HgbA1c, gestational weight gain, pre-pregnancy BMI, BMI at delivery, and gestational BMI gain. All analyses were performed using Statistical Package for the ...
