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 ...
Iron status index combining ferritin, transferrin saturation (TSAT) and total iron-binding capacity (TIBC).Lucile MercadalMarie MetzgerJean Philippe HaymannEric ThervetJeanJacques BoffaMartin FlamantFrançois VrtovsnikCédric GauciMarc Froissart
Importantly, serum Tf levels we measured in the experimentally-induced High and Low TSAT rats doubled those of normal rats (8.67 ± 0.89, 8.61 ± 0.57 and 4.10 ± 0.27 mg/ml, respectively), this proving that serum Tf saturation with iron, rather than Tf levels, determines the growth and...
Soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) levels indicate iron deficiency and are unaffected by inflammation while, sTfR/log ferritin index (sTfR Index) provides an estimate of body iron over a wide range of normal and depleted iron stores. Hepcidin, a liver- derived acute-phase reactant is a key ...
Ferritinemia, transferrinemia as well as total iron fixation capacity were in the normal range for the majority of SCD patients in spite of the frequency of hyposideremia and microcytic anemia (20%). Transferrine's saturation coefficie...
Lower TSAT levels, indicative of iron deficiency, are associated with poorer HRQOL in NDD-CKD patients, particularly for physical domains and effects of kidney disease, even after adjustment for potential confounders and stratification for normal and low hemoglobin levels. Randomized controlled trials ...
(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 (...
