Diagnosis of Iron Deficiency and Iron Deficiency Anemia with Reticulocyte Hemoglobin Content among Children Aged 6-18 Years
Background: Iron deficiency (ID) is the most common micronutrient deficiency in the world. If left untreated, ID will lead to iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and other irreversible consequences. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommended reticulocyte hemoglobin content (Ret-He) as an alternative laboratory examination to screen and detect ID. We aimed to compare Ret-He with other laboratory pa...
متن کاملCentral Obesity and Normochromic, Normocytic Anemia
Abstract Objective: Obesity is related to anemia which is explained its mechanism as disorder in iron absorption but the more rational reason is anemia of inflammation or anemia of chronic disease. The aim of this study was to define the prevalence of obesity in patients with normochromic normocytic anemia. Materials and methods: We screened 406 patients who were referred to endocrine cli...
متن کاملConcomitant severe normocytic and normochromic anemia in poststreptococcal acute glomerulonephritis.
Although anemia frequently occurs in poststreptococcal acute glomerulonephritis (PSAGN), severe anemia is rare. We report severe normocytic, normochromic anemia (hematocrit, 19.8%) in PSAGN in a 6-year-old girl with edema, macrohematuria, and proteinuria for 1 month. The potential causes of severe anemia found in this case were: 1) longer duration of massive hematuria from onset of macrohemauri...
متن کاملReticulocyte Hemoglobin vis-a-vis Serum Ferritin as a Marker of Bone Marrow Iron Store in Iron Deficiency Anemia.
AIM To evaluate reticulocyte hemoglobin (RET-He) vis-a-vis serum ferritin as a marker of bone marrow iron store in iron deficiency anemia (IDA). MATERIAL AND METHODS A hospital based analytic study was conducted among patients (age group 15-65 years) with newly diagnosed and untreated IDA admitted in medicine ward and not suffering from any inflammatory disorders (excluded by C-reactive prote...
متن کاملClinical Significance of Reticulocyte Hemoglobin Content in the Diagnosis of Iron Deficiency Anemia
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical significance of reticulocyte hemoglobin content (CHr) in the diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and to compare it with other conventional iron parameters. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 32 female patients with IDA (serum hemoglobin <120 g/L and serum ferritin <20 ng/ mL) and 18 female patients with iron deficiency (serum he...
