Reticulocyte hemoglobin content in critically ill patients.
To the Editor: We read with interest the article by Fernandez et al. Reticulocyte hemoglobin content (CHr) is a promising marker of iron metabolism, particularly in the intensive care unit setting where usual markers are often disrupted by inflammation. In a small cohort of critically ill patients with no evidence of real iron deficiency, we observed a correlation between C-reactive protein and...
متن کاملReticulocyte hemoglobin content to diagnose iron deficiency in children.
CONTEXT Early identification of iron deficiency in children is essential to prevent the damaging long-term consequences of this disease. However, it is not clear which indices should be included in a diagnostic panel for iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia in children. OBJECTIVE To develop an effective approach for the diagnosis of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia in young ch...
متن کاملScreening healthy infants for iron deficiency using reticulocyte hemoglobin content.
CONTEXT Current clinical practice relies on hemoglobin to detect iron deficiency, which misses infants not yet anemic and places them at higher risk for neurocognitive impairment. Reticulocyte hemoglobin content (CHr) has never been compared with hemoglobin for screening healthy infants. OBJECTIVES To evaluate CHr for detecting iron deficiency without anemia in healthy 9- to 12-month-old infa...
متن کاملReticulocyte hemoglobin equivalent to detect thalassemia and thalassemic hemoglobin variants
INTRODUCTION Thalassemia and iron deficiency may both result in hypochromic microcytic anemia. Hematological algorithms that differentiate the two are mainly established in adult selected diagnostic groups. We aimed at creating an algorithm applicable in the presence of children, hemoglobin variants, and iron deficiency. METHODS Our study material constituted blood samples referred during 1 y...
متن کاملDiagnosis 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...
