present data suggesting that phenotypic non-expression of haemochromatosis, defined as transferrin saturation (TS) below 45%, is associated with increased body mass index (BMI) in C282Y homozygous women. We would like to comment on their observations, based on findings in the Nord-Trondelag ...
(s), if any, better predict Kt/V, among those used to assess nutritional status, inflammation response, and iron status. Methods: We retrospectively studied 78 patients undergoing haemodialysis due to end-stage renal disease. As parameters of nutritional status, geriatric nutritional risk index (...
Iron is taken up into cells via transferrin receptors, meaning that the receptors are specific for transferrin. Transferrin is an iron-transporting glycoprotein found in the blood. When the protein is not bound with iron, it is called apotransferrin and will not bind with a transferrin receptor ...
