We describe an evaluation of the "RES-OMAT FE-59" radiometric kit (Mallinckrodt Australia Pty. Ltd.) for determination of total iron-binding capacity and unsaturated iron-binding capacity; serum iron may be calculated from total iron-binding capacity and unsaturated iron-binding capacity. Values obtained on patients' sera were compared with those obtained by continuous-flow analysis; correlatio...

OBJECTIVE To determine the diagnostic accuracy of serum iron and total iron binding capacity (TIBC) in detection of iron deficiency. STUDY DESIGN Descriptive, analytical study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Department of Chemical Pathology and Endocrinology, from January 2013 to October 2015. METHODOLOGY Data of 1,815 patients with results of serum iron, TIBC and ferritin from January 2013 ...

Introduction With iron deficiency being the most common nutritional deficiency in the world (Yip in Bowman and Russell, 2001), it comes as no surprise that iron is one of the most investigated micronutrients. Iron deficiency anaemia affects more than 1 billion people, mostly women of childbearing age and young children (Jacobson, 2008). Subsequently many national and international intervention ...

Backgrounds and Aims: Thyroid hormones have a crucial physiological role to maintain balance of metabolism of body. Thyroid hormones have an important role in metabolism and proliferation of blood cells. Thyroid gland also has a vital influence on erythropoiesis by induction of erythropoietin secretion and proliferation of erythroid progenitors. In the present study, it was tried to evaluate th...

although, iron depletion is a common disorder among athletes, little data exist regarding the effect of gymnastic training on iron status. the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of gymnastic exercise on body iron status and hematologic profile. the present investigation involved 35 male gymnasts aged from 6 to14 yrs. serum ferritin level, total iron binding capacity (tibc), iron...

trichuriasis is an intestinal parasitic disease which is caused by trichuris trichiura, a soil transmitted helminth. in order to evaluate the iron status of trichuriasis in patients a total of 120 (49 males and 71 females) cases with trichuris trichiura as well as 54 healthy individuals were evaluated. blood samples were analyzed for serum iron, transferrin saturation percent, haemoglobin and o...

Ferritin values for 250 selected sera were compared with values for iron, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), and transferrin saturation, to assess the potential of the ferritin assay for the detection of latent iron deficiency. The specimens were grouped (50 in each group) according to their values for iron and TIBC. In Group 1 (low iron, high TIBC) the saturation and ferritin values both indi...

Determination of iron in analytical chemistry has become a routine procedure because of its importance in our life. Various chemical forms of iron can be found in natural waters depending on geological area and chemical components present in the environment. The main source of iron in natural waters is from the weathering and leaching of rocks and soils (Dojlido & Best, 1993). Also, metallic ir...

Original Article Background & objectives: To assess the nutritional iron status and anemia prevalence in rural children of Warangal district, A.P. INDIA. Methods: We have studied serum iron, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) relation ship in 50 rural children in the age group of 8-12 years. Results: As expected there was a highly significant increased levels of serum iron and a lower TIBC. The...
