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 کاملبررسی میزان تأثیر اسید آسکوربیک وریدی در اصلاح آنمی بیماران مبتلا به نارسایی کلیه تحت درمان همودیالیز
Introduction: Hemodialysis patients often develop resistance to recombinant human erythropoietin due to functional Iron Deficiency. In these patients iron therapy can be hazardous leading to hemosiderosis. Recent studies have suggested that intravenous ascorbic acid may be able to improve this hyporeponsiveness. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of intravenous ascorbic acid on fu...
متن کاملClinical utility of the new Sysmex XE 2100 parameter - reticulocyte hemoglobin equivalent - in the diagnosis of anemia.
Our aim was to establish the reference values of the new parameter reticulocyte hemoglobin equivalent (RET-He) and to investigate its role in differentiating between iron deficiency anemia and anemia of chronic diseases. We found that RET-He was useful for diagnosing iron deficiency anemia. A cut-off point of 25 pg provided a specificity of 0.81 and a sensitivity of 0.76.
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 کاملReticulocyte hemoglobin measurement--comparison of two methods in the diagnosis of iron-restricted erythropoiesis.
The aims of this study were to diagnose iron-restricted erythropoiesis (functional iron deficiency) in patients with classic iron deficiency (ID), anemia of chronic disease (ACD) and the combined state of ID/ACD with the use of two hematological methods for the measurement of reticulocyte hemoglobinization. In comparison, the biochemical markers of iron status were determined. We studied 474 an...
