Iron deficiency may be linked to non-dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease and mortality in patients without anemia, according to results of a nationwide cohort study.While iron is a key component ...

According to data from NHANES, there was no statistically significant correlation between increased serum iron levels and colorectal cancer risk.

Iron deficiency (ID) is currently defined as a serum ferritin level <100 or 100 to 299 ng/mL with transferrin saturation (TSAT) <20%. Serum ferritin and TSAT are currently used to define absolute and ...

How is IDA definitively diagnosed, and why is it crucial to detect IDA at an early stage? What are some of the comorbidities that accompany IDA? How do you prioritize managing IDA along with the ...

When I saw today’s theme I initially feared that it was going to be about boring legal words (and who’d want that), but my concerns were soon eased when the first Hint gave me ZOMBIE – which ...

Moreover, astrocytes have been shown to respond to neuroinflammation and the presence of amyloid-beta (Aβ) proteins by upregulating ferritin expression, thereby modulating iron transport and ...

Research suggests there may be a two-way relationship between anemia and high blood pressure (hypertension). People with anemia might be at an increased risk of high blood pressure and vice versa.

Ferritin cutoffs for testing are highly variable in primary care and significantly impact the diagnosis and treatment of iron deficiency in this setting. Compared with a ferritin cutoff of 15 ng/mL, ...

Anemia occurs when your body doesn’t produce enough healthy red blood cells to supply your tissues with oxygen. Sleep issues like insomnia have been linked to anemia. Anemia has many potential ...

We further investigated the accessibility of iron biomarkers. Nearly all participants (96%) had access to serum ferritin tests, whereas only 54% reported access to TSAT results, although the variables ...
