Iron deficiency is one of the most common nutritional problems of the human race. It is associated with serious health risks including abnormal mental and motor development in infancy, impaired work capacity, increased risk of premature delivery, and, in severe anemia, increased maternal and infant mortality. The development of iron deficiency is the consequence of an interaction of 3 distinct ...

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVES Anemia is the most frequent extraintestinal complication of inflammatory bowel disease. This study aimed to: 1) determine the prevalence of anemia among patients with inflammatory bowel disease; 2) investigate whether routine laboratory markers are useful for diagnosing anemia; and 3) evaluate whether any association exists between anemia and clinical/laboratory variables...

BACKGROUND While anemia occurs in 80 % to 90 % of patients with celiac disease (CD), it may be the sole manifestation of CD. The prevalence of CD in Indian patients with nutritional anemia is not known. PATIENTS AND METHODS Adolescent and adult patients presenting with nutritional anemia were prospectively screened for CD using IgA anti-tissue transglutaminase antibody (anti-tTG Ab) followed,...

Background: Menstrual Migraine (MM) is a subgroup of migraine headache that affect the quality of life of patients in menstrual age. Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) is the most common cause of anemia, especially in women of reproductive age. Objectives: To determine the association of iron deficiency anemia with menstrual migraine. Materials and Methods: This descriptive-analytic study was c...

Iron deficiency anemia is the most common form of anemia worldwide, caused by poor iron intake, chronic blood loss, or impaired absorption. Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are increasingly likely to have iron deficiency anemia, with an estimated prevalence of 36%-76%. Detection of iron deficiency is problematic as outward signs and symptoms are not always present. Iron deficiency...

background functional iron deficiency (fid) may cause erythropoietin resistance in patients under hemodialysis (hd). since the role of chronic inflammation or oxidative stress in its pathogenesis is unclear, controversy remains to whether intravenous iron or intravenous ascorbic acid (an antioxidant) can improve this anemia due to decreased iron availability. objectives the current study compar...

background: the iron deficiency anemia (ida) is a common cause of referral to medical departments. chronic gastrointestinal (gi) blood loss is important cause of ida and also an alarming sign of serious underlying disease. the information concerning ideal evaluation of the gastrointestinal tract in patients with the ida is scant. we designed a prospective study to determine the frequency of gi ...

background and objectives: complement proteins are some of the most important plasma proteins of the innate immune system. impaired immune function is reported in subjects who are iron deficient, and there are documents that these patients are prone to infection. this study was conducted to show whether serum c3 and c4 complement change in adult nonpregnant female with iron deficient anemia or ...
