ferritin (redirected fromSerum ferritin) Thesaurus Medical Encyclopedia fer·ri·tin (fĕr′ĭ-tĭn) n. An iron-containing protein complex, found principally in the intestinal mucosa, spleen, and liver, that functions as the primary form of iron storage in the body. ...
The results of this study confirm the value of the serum ferritin assay as a sensitive indicator of blood donor body iron stores and emphasize the fact that regular blood donation may diminish body iron stores while the serum iron levels remain normal. It is suggested that oral iron replacement...
Accumulation of iron is associated with oxidative stress, inflammation, and regulated cell death processes that contribute to the development of acute kidney injury (AKI). We aimed to investigate the association between serum iron levels and prognosis in
Concentration of ferritin in blood serum of dairy cows was measured by a two-site immunoradiometric assay to assess changes in the iron nutritional status during gestation, parturition, and lactation. Although anemia did not occur in pregnancy of dairy cows, there were slight decreases of red cell...
Few serum biomarker tests are implemented in clinical practice and recent reports raise concerns about poor reproducibility of biomarker studies. Here, we investigated the potential role of sex and female hormonal status in this widespread irreproducibil
To examine the relation of blood ascorbic acid level, which reflects usual dietary intake, to serum vitamin B12 level, serum ferritin level, and kidney stones, we analyzed data from participants of the Second National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES II), a study that surveyed a ...
Serum total cholesterol and ferritin and haemoglobin concentrations were measured in blood samples obtained by venepuncture in 378 of 593 children aged 5-6 or 8-9 years from seven primary schools in Canterbury. This study formed part of an investigation to assess the feasibility of including a ve...
A System 9000 Diff Model Automated Cell Counter (Serono-Baker Diagnostics Inc, Allentown, PA) was used to measure white blood cell count in whole blood samples. Exclusions Blood ferritin concentrations can be elevated in conditions of pathologic iron overload. The most common inherited form is ...
Blood samples were obtained with the patient in stable condition before hospital discharge in morning. Serum TRACP5b was measured using fragment-absorbed immunocapture enzymatic assay using an Osteolinks TRACP5b kit (Nittobo Medical, Tokyo, Japan). Sensitivity of this assay is 19.2 mU/dL, the inte...
The blood serum was separated and then frozen at −80 °C for later analysis. Serum ferritin, insulin, leptin, interleukin-6 (IL-6), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), resistin and tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a) levels were measured using “Metabolic Syndrome Array I” kit by...
