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.

Background Abnormalities of iron metabolism in pregnancy pose risks for maternal and fetal health. Robust reference intervals for iron metabolism indices have not been established in a pregnant Chinese population. The purpose of this study was to derive reference intervals for indices of iron metabolism during pregnancy in a Chinese population. Methods A total of 360 healthy pregnant women were recruited and divided into three groups of 120 by gestational age: first trimester (1–13 weeks), second trimester (14–27 weeks) and third trimester (≥28 weeks). An additional 120 healthy non-pregnant women were recruited as the non-pregnant control group. Serum ferritin was measured by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay. Serum iron and total iron-binding capacity were measured by a direct bathophenanthroline method. Transferrin saturation value was calculated with formula TS = SI/TIBC. The reference intervals were established using a non-parametric method. Results In first and second trimesters (combined), the reference intervals for serum ferritin, serum iron, total iron-binding capacity and transferrin saturation are 14.7–184.3 mg/L, 14.50–33.45 µmol/L, 36.53–68.81 µmol/L and 19.04–64.76%, respectively. In the third trimester, the reference intervals for serum ferritin, serum iron, total iron-binding capacity and transferrin saturation are 7.2–122.2 mg/L, 5.83–21.52 µmol/L, 49.40–122.76 µmol/L and 8.22–52.75%, respectively. Conclusion The reference intervals for iron metabolism indices for healthy pregnant Chinese women were established in accordance with CLSI C28-A3 guidelines. This will be a valuable tool for clinical practice and research.

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.

Background & objective: To see the relationship between preeclampsia and iron parameters (serum iron, serum ferritin and total iron binding capacity). Methods: The present case-control study was carried out in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH), Dhaka in collaboration with the Department of Biochemistry, BSMMU, Dhaka over a period of 1 year from July 2012 to June 2013 Pregnant women with preeclampsia admitted in the above-mentioned hospital were considered as case, while the pregnant women without preeclampsia were included as control. A total of 60 women-31 cases and 29 controls were purposively included in the study. The exposure variables were serum ferritin, serum iron and total iron binding capacity (TIBC), while the outcome variable was preeclampsia. The serum iron level > 100 μg/L was considered as hyperferritenemia. Result: Nearly two-thirds of the women were in their 2nd decades of life belonged to lower socioeconomic class. The body mass index was also fairly comparable between the groups with most women having normal BMI. No significant difference was observed between the groups with respect to obstetric variables as well. Level of haemoglobin and hematocrit were also identically distributed between groups. The result showed that a significantly higher proportion (35.5%) preeclamptic women had elevated serum ferritin (> 100 μg/L) as opposed to 10.3% of the control group (p = 0.021). The risk of developing raised serum ferritin in women with preeclampsia was estimated to be 4-fold (95% CI =1.2 – 19.4) higher than that in the normal pregnant women. Analyses also revealed that women with severe preeclampsia had a higher mean serum ferritin (207.3 ± 44.1 ng/ml) than the women with mild preeclampsia (41.7 ± 2.7) and an even higher level compared with the normal pregnant women (21.7 ± 1.4 μg/ml) (p = 0.001). Similar result was observed in serum iron with greater the severity, higher is the level of serum iron (p = 0.067). Conversely, the serum total iron binding capacity (TIBC) was decreased with severity of preeclampsia (p = 0.058). Conclusion: The study concluded that women with preeclamsia might be associated with higher serum ferritin, higher serum iron and lower serum TIBC although it is not known whether the rise in serum ferritin and serum iron precedes or contributes to the clinical manifestations of preeclampsia.

The aim of this research was to evaluate the effects of a resistance training protocol on iron metabolism of police working dogs. Understanding of how physical exercise influences biochemical parameters is essential for a proper interpretation of exams and adjustments of nutritional and conditioning programs. Nine dogs, being four Belgian Malinois and five German Shepherd, 18.56±0.53 months old, were evaluated before (M1) and six weeks after (M2) a training program using a treadmill. Training sessions were performed twice/week including a 20-min of treadmill activity on a speed compatible with 60-80% of HRpeak on weeks 1 and 2; same exercise of weeks 1 and 2 with a 5% grade added between 7.5 and 12.5 min on weeks 3 and 4; and, same protocol of weeks 3 and 4 with three short bursts of strenuous exercise 60 min after the end of the treadmill exercise on weeks 5 and 6. On both moments (M1 and M2), animals were examined and blood samples were obtained before (T0) and after (T1) an incremental effort test and at 30 min (T2) and 120 min (T3) of recovery. Serum iron (Fe), total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) and transferrin saturation (TS) were determined. All variables were analysed using Tukey test, with P<0.05. Iron parameters were not modified by the current exercise protocol for training police working dogs.

Abstract We report our observations on day-to-day variation in serum ferritin, serum iron, total iron-binding capacity, and percent saturation of binding proteins with iron in 13 ostensibly healthy subjects during five weeks. The average intrasubject coefficients of variation were 14.5, 28.5, 4.8, and 28.0%, respectively. Precision studies on control samples showed greater within-assay and between-assay analytical variation for serum ferritin than for serum iron or total iron-binding capacity. Evidently, serum ferritin varies less in a given individual from day to day than do serum iron and percent iron saturation. Thus, a single measurement of serum ferritin may be a more reliable index of iron stores than an isolated determination of either serum iron or percent iron saturation.
