There was no significant difference in high-fluorescence reticulocyte and soluble transferrin receptor values between the two groups, but a correlation was observed between high-fluorescence reticulocytes and soluble transferrin receptors in iron-deficiency anemia, probably due to increased receptor synthesis as a response to decreased iron content in erythrocytes.
There should a more unanimous agreement among different societies on the specific diagnostic cutoff values for C-reactive protein levels, serum ferritin, and transferrin saturation in order to differentiate iron deficiency anemia from anemia of chronic disease.
The study aims were to evaluate 1) the contribution of AI and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) to newborn iron endowment, 2) hepcidin as a biomarker to distinguish AI from IDA among pregnant women, and 3) risk factors for specific etiologies of maternal anemia.
The studies in the patients with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) implied the existence of the association of ghrelin with iron or hepcidin levels in the plasma under the pathophysiological conditions.
The significant positive correlation between ghrelin and iron and hepcidin levels in the plasma of children with iron deficiency anemia prompted us to hypothesize that ghrelin may affect iron metabolism.
The significant negative correlation between erythropoietin and hemoglobin levels observed in IDA patients was also found in a group of anemic but not hypoferremic hereditary spherocytosis subjects, but not in ACD patients.
The results obtained suggest that in obese children with sufficient iron intake, the altered ferroportin-hepcidin axis may occur without signs of iron deficiency or iron deficiency anemia.
The research showed that the concentration of hepcidin is statistically lower in children (4.4 ng/mL) and adolescents (4.1 ng/mL) who suffer from iron deficiency anemia in comparison with the control group (14 ng/mL, 10 ng/mL, respectively).
The present study was conducted to determine the effect of maternal iron deficiency anemia (IDA) on fetal hippocampal morphogenesis and production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF).
The present study evaluated resource use and costs associated with using iron isomaltoside (Monofer; IIM) versus ferric carboxymaltose (Ferinject; FCM) in patients with IDA and IBD in Denmark.
The methylation level and the mRNA expression level of DR4 gene promoters of bone marrow mononuclear cells in 122 patients with newly diagnosed AML and 24 patients with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) were detected using Methylation specific PCR (MS-PCR) and Q-RT-PCR, respectively, and a correlation analysis of them was conducted.

The mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of both α-tubulin and β-tubulin within platelets from IDA patients with thrombocytosis was significantly less than that from healthy volunteers and IDA patients with normal platelet counts (P < .01), and there was no statistical difference between the latter two groups (P > .05).
The iron depletion and the sickling of erythrocytes could be identified by Raman spectroscopy and a spectral model based on PLS accurately discriminated these IDA and SCD samples from the normal HbA.
The aim of the study was to investigate the association of rs855791, rs4820268, rs5756506, rs2235324, rs2413450, rs2111833, rs228919, and rs733655 SNPs in TMPRSS6 gene with IDA susceptibility and iron-related clinical parameters.
The activity of both IRP1 and IRP2 and the levels of IRP2 were: (i) higher in monocytes and macrophages of HH patients than in those of control subjects; (ii) increased in the duodenal samples of the patients with HH and iron-deficiency anemia.

The TNFRSF1A GG genotype was significantly associated with IDA in established RA (OR 4.3, p = 0.01), and this was confirmed in a group of patients with early RA (OR 4.8, p = 0.04).
