Abstract Ferritin values for 250 selected sera were compared with values for iron, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), and transferrin saturation, to assess the potential of the ferritin assay for the detection of latent iron deficiency. The specimens were grouped (50 in each group) according to their values for iron and TIBC. In Group 1 (low iron, high TIBC) the saturation and ferritin values both indicated iron deficiency in all but one. In the 100 specimens of Groups 2 (normal iron, high TIBC) and 4 (normal iron, high normal TIBC), the saturation values revealed 16 iron-deficient cases, the ferritin test 55. For Groups 3 (low iron, normal TIBC) and 5 (low iron, low TIBC), the ferritin test revealed fewer cases of iron deficiency than did the saturation values (37 cases vs 51 cases, in the 100 specimens). Evidently the ferritin test detects iron deficiency in many cases for whom the serum iron and TIBC tests are not positively indicative. The correlation of serum ferritin with iron, TIBC, and transferrin saturation in the five groups was good only in the case of specimens for which the TIBC was normal; if it was abnormal the correlation was very poor.

Disturbances in iron metabolism can be genetic or acquired and accordingly manifest as primary or secondary iron overload state. Organ damage may result from iron overload and manifest clinically as cirrhosis, diabetes mellitus, arthritis, endocrine abnormalities and cardiomyopathy. Hemochromatosis inherited as an autosomal recessive disorder is the most common genetic iron overload disorder. Expert societies recommend screening of asymptomatic and symptomatic individuals with hemochromatosis by obtaining transferrin saturation (calculated as serum iron/total iron binding capacity × 100). Further testing for the hemochromatosis gene is recommended if transferrin saturation is >45% with or without hyperferritinemia. However, management of individuals with low or normal transferrin saturation is not clear. In patients with features of iron overload and high serum ferritin levels, low or normal transferrin saturation should alert the physician to other - primary as well as secondary - causes of iron overload besides hemochromatosis. We present here a possible approach to patients with hyperferritinemia but normal transferrin saturation.

Abstract Plasma from patients with iron overload resulting from idiopathic hemochromatosis contains nontransferrin-bound iron, measurable by the bleomycin, assay. During venesection therapy, the concentration of bleomycin iron declines in a way highly correlated with plasma ferritin concentrations. Even when patients had been venesected to give very low total plasma iron concentrations and high transferrin iron-binding capacity, bleomycin-detectable iron was still present at low concentrations. Bleomycin-detectable iron can stimulate damaging free radical reactions, and its persistence in plasma even after prolonged venesection might contribute to the tissue damage that results from iron overload.

Abstract: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a pathological condition with a variety of etiology, resulting in progressively decreased renal function which is often ended with kidney failure. Chronic kidney disease has a global prevalence of 800 per million of population and the incidence of end-stage renal disease ranges from 150 to 200 per million of population. Complications often occur at the end-stage renal disease inter alia anemia with a rate of 80-90%. This study was aimed to obtain the profile of stage-5 CKD patients with anemia and regular hemodialysis was performed on them. This was a descriptive-retrospective study using data of medical records at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou General Hospital from January 2015 to October 2016. There were six observed variables as follows: age, gender, serum iron (SI), total iron binding capacity (TIBC), transferrin saturation, and ferritin. The results showed that of the 48 CKD patients with anemia, there were 24 males and 24 females. The majority were aged 60-69 years (33%) and had normal SI level in 30 patients (67%); decreased TIBC in 35 patients (75%); normal transferrin saturation in 26 patients (54%); and increased ferritin level in 38 patients (81%). Conclusion: Majority of the patients were 60-69 years old and had normal level of SI, decreased TIBC, normal transferrin saturation, and increased levels of ferritin. There was no difference in case number of both sexes.Keywords: serum iron, total iron binding capacity, transferrin saturation, ferritin Abstrak: Penyakit Ginjal Kronik (PGK) adalah suatu keadaan patologis dengan etiologi yang beragam, terjadi penurunan fungsi ginjal secara progresif, dan biasanya berakhir dengan gagal ginjal.

Diagnostic And Prognostic Value

The aim of the study is to investigate the diagnostic and prognostic value of integrated assessment of iron metabolism parameters in patients with spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral haemorrhage in acute period. Materials and methods. This prospective cohort study included 88 patients with spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral haemorrhage during the course of conservative treatment. Diagnosis was made based on the findings of clinical and neuro-imaging investigations. On the 1st day of the hospital admission fasting blood samples were taken. Levels of ferritin, hepcidin, iron, total iron binding capacity, unsaturated iron binding capacity and transferrin saturation were detected. Early neurological deterioration and unfavourable outcome of acute period of spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral haemorrhage as grading 4-6 scores by modified Rankin scale on the 21st day of the disease were chosen as clinical endpoints. Lethal outcome and unfavourable functional outcome were also recorded. Results. Three profile types of evaluated iron metabolism parameters were identified based on the cluster analysis in the patients with intracerebral haemorrhage. It has been found out the profile types with initial higher levels of serum hepcidin and ferritin in blood together with lower serum iron concentration (type II and particularly type III) are associated with more severe cerebral structures damage and increased risk of early clinical deterioration (relative risk (95% confidence interval) = 6,01 (1,54–24,86), р=0,0120) and unfavourable functional outcome of the disease (relative risk (95% confidence interval) = 4,45 (2,25–8,80), р˂0,0001). Conclusion. Profile type of serum hepcidin, ferritin and iron concentrations together with transferrin saturation in the patients with spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral haemorrhage on the 1st day of hospital admission is the informative integrated marker for short-term prognosis during the course of conservative treatment.

Background: Literature data indicate the benefit of magnesium (Mg) supplementation. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of short-term Mg supplementation on iron status in healthy female participants. Methods: One hundred healthy female students of the University of Belgrade - Faculty of Pharmacy participated in the study during eleven intervention days. Students ingested Mg preparations with the same dose of the active substance. The analysis included the measurement of serum iron, unsaturated iron binding capacity (UIBC), total iron binding capacity (TIBC), total Mg (tMg), ionized Mg (iMg), complete blood count, met-, carboxy- and oxy-haemoglobin (metHgb, COHgb, O2Hgb). Transferrin concentrations and the percentage of transferrin saturation (SAT) were calculated manually. The association among the analyzed biochemical parameters was examined using polynomial regression. A principal component analysis (PCA) was used for the evaluation of interdependence between the analyzed parameters. Results: A statistically significant trend for change in O2Hgb (%) by tertiles of iMg concentrations was found (P = 0.029). Serum tMg reached a significant positive correlation with the SAT at concentration levels greater than 0.9 mmol/L, after 11 days of intervention (R2=0.116). Ionized Mg in a concentration higher than 0.6 mmol/L is positively correlated with SAT and serum Fe (R2=0.214; 0.199, respectively). PCA revealed variability of 64.7% for two axes after 11 days. Conclusions: Mg supplementation leads to an improvement in certain iron status parameters even in individuals with optimal levels of these indices. However, caution should be exercised when supplementing Mg, and laboratory monitoring of the interaction is required.
