Day-to-day variation of transferrin receptor and ferritin in healthy men and women.

چکیده
To determine the total day-to-day intraindividual variability of ferritin and transferrin receptor (TfR), we collected venous serum and plasma and capillary serum and plasma samples during 10 nonconsecutive days over a 4-wk period from a group of healthy men (n = 10) and women (n = 11) aged 19-46 y. On the basis of a method previously established in younger and older adults, biological (sigma 2 day) and analytical (sigma 2 rep) variance components were computed and summed to obtain the total day-to-day intraindividual variability (sigma 2 tot). The total day-to-day intraindividual CV (CVtot) was lower for TfR than for ferritin measurements. One to two discrete blood samples are required to accurately determine capillary and venous TfR, whereas capillary and venous ferritin, which have a higher CVtot, require three to six samples. Results from the current study showing the low biological and analytical variability of TfR support the use of this new test for assessing a person's iron status.

Effects of Iron in Neonates and Young Infants: a Review
Iron is essential to erythrocyte oxygen transport and is a catalyst for oxidative metabolism in all cells. Iron is absorbed by the duodenum and requires an acidic environment for optimal absorption. Iron is found for 70% in erythrocytes, and 30% in storage, and a small amount in myoglobin and cytochromes. Iron supplementation reduces anemia in breastfed infants and increases in significant dose...
متن کاملDay-to-day variation in serum ferritin concentration in healthy subjects.
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...
متن کاملSerum transferrin receptor and transferrin receptor-ferritin index identify healthy subjects with subclinical iron deficits.
Despite the established utility of serum transferrin receptor (sTfR), serum ferritin, and the sTfR/log ferritin ratio (TfR-F Index) in the diagnosis of iron deficiency (ID) anemia, the numeric values of these parameters, which are indicative of subclinical ID, remain to be clearly defined. In this study, 65 apparently healthy nonanemic adults (22 men and 43 women) were treated with 3 months of ...

متن کاملWashing erythrocytes to remove interferents in measurements of zinc protoporphyrin by front-face hematofluorometry.
Zinc protoporphyrin (ZPP) is determined by hematofluorometry of whole blood to detect iron deficiency in blood donors. In hospitalized patients, ZPP did not correlate with established markers of iron status. We performed 4500 ZPP measurements with the Aviv front-face hematofluorometer in samples from 475 patients and measured ferritin, transferrin saturation, hemoglobin, and erythrocyte indices...
