... iron chelation treatment influenced ferritin levels (p = 0.002, Kruskal-Wallis test) since chelation with a single agent seems to increase the risk of a skin disease (p = 0.013, likelihood ratio method). Conclusively, serum ferritin can be evaluated as risk factor for generalized dermatoses...

... with HFE status, serum ferritin, age, NTBI, transferrin saturation, gender and BMI. Subsequent multiple regression analysis showed that HFE status and serum ferritin were significant independent correlates of serum hepcidin levels. Conclusions: In summary, this study has shown that while serum ferritin...

...Chaim Hershko; Abraham M. Konijn; Alvar Loria The value of serum ferritin and mean corpuscular volume (MCV) measurement in distinguishing between iron deficient, β -thalassaemia trait and normal subjects has been studied. Normal subjects had normal ferritin and MCV, iron-deficient ones had low...

...Lennart Jansson; Lars Holmberg; Rolf Ekman Serum ferritin measured at birth in 69 low birth weight infants proved to vary with gestational age as well as with weight. The increase with gestational age was even more striking when the infants small for gestational age were excluded. The relation...

...F. Schettini; A. Mautone; L. Cavallo; M. Altomare; O. Montagna; L. Dell’Edera A longitudinal study has been conducted on serum ferritin concentrations in children with thalassemia major treated with desferrioxamine (DFO), both intramuscularly and by continuous subcutaneous infusion, in order...

...R. Galanello; M.A. Melis; E. Paglietti; G. Cornacchia; S. de Virgiliis; A. Cao This study shows that hemoglobin H disease patients aged between 0.5 and 44 years, usually (27 out of 30) have normal serum ferritin levels according to age. This reconfirms that in this disease there are usually normal...

...P. Pootrakul; V. Vongsmasa; P. La-ongpanich; P. Wasi Iron overload is a constant and the most important complication in thalassemia. Serum ferritin concentration accurately reflects body iron stores. A total of 245 thalassemic patients aged 12–55 years were examined, 71 having Hb H disease and 174...

...Lawrence R. Solomon; Robert S. Hillman; Clement A. Finch The relationship between the level of erythropoiesis and iron balance was evaluated in 13 subjects with idiopathic refractory anemias. Serum ferritin levels and bone marrow iron stores were increased only in those patients with ring...

...J.M. Lang; M. Eber; G. Methlin; F. Oberling A solid-phase immunoradiometric assay for serum ferritin has been developed and applied to 30 patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), including 13 patients with a typical chronic phase, 12 with bone marrow fibrosis without evidence of an acute phase...

...Francisco Cervantes; Josep-María Marti; Carlos Piera; Juan-Carlos Reverter; Ciril Rozman In 60 patients with Ph 1 -positive chronic granulocytic leukaemia (CGL) the serum ferritin concentration was measured as a part of the initial evaluation of the disease. The mean value (+ SD) was 285 ± 368.6 ng...

... transfusions earlier ( > f 2 units/year). Diagnosis of IO was established by high serum ferritin (SF) levels ( > f ,100 μg/l), high hepatic CT density ( > 70 Hounsfield units; HU) and excessive iron stores in bone marrow aspirate (grade 6). None of the patients had osteitis fibrosa cystica, aluminium...
