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...
Serum ascorbic acid, serum vitamin B12, hemoglobin, red blood cell mean corpuscular volume (MCV), and serum ferritin levels were measured using standardized protocols. History of kidney stones was determined by self-report. Results After multivariate adjustment, serum ascorbic acid level was associated...
Objective To explore the changes of serum ferritin(SF),hemoglobin(Hb),blood lead in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD).Methods According to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders(DSM-Ⅳ),the Conner′s pa-rent ratting scale and integrated visual and audio conti...
Iron status was determined using serum ferritin (SF) concentration from venous blood collected aseptically from the ante-cubital veins analyzed on a fully automated Cobas e411 (German, Japan Cobas 4000 analyzer series) immunoassay analyzer. Iron deficiency(ID) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) were ...
At 6 months postoperatively, patients were asked to return to the hospital for blood draw for repeat blood count and biochemical testing and PSG test. At that visit, we repeated the baseline evaluation, including: sleepiness scale, PSG, complete blood count, biochemical investigations, serum CRP ...
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...
12,13 Blood samples were obtained when the patients were at stable condition before hospital discharge each morning. Patients with acute coronary syndrome and dialysis were excluded. Patients were divided into tertiles on the basis of serum TRACP5b levels: first (TRACP5b < 316 mU/dL, n = 229...
To guide the treatment of iron-deficiency anemia in pregnancy, the haemoglobin concentration is the most used test in spite of its low accuracy, and serum ferritin is the most reliable test, although its cutoff point remains an issue. Methods/design The aim of this protocol is to verify the...
Iron stores were evaluated by serum ferritin determinations in 948 menstruating and 141 non-menstruating female blood donors. Blood donation was associated with a decrease in ferritin. First-time donors (n = 163) had a geometric mean ferritin of 24 .mu.g/l and multiple-time donors a value ...
