... of allogeneic transfusions. Pregnancy, delivery, and the puerperium are associated with increased rates of iron deficiency and anemia, which correlates with worse maternal and fetal outcomes and places pregnant women at increased risk of obstetric hemorrhage. Summary: Early screening for iron deficiency before...

Currently, there is no potent screening during...

...Patrick Paul Torreiter; Camilla Drexler-Helmberg; Wolfgang Schimetta; Petra Krakowitzky; Wolfgang Helmberg; Peter Schlenke Introduction: Regular whole blood donors often suffer from iron deficiency (ID) or iron deficiency anemia due to the loss of 200–300 mg of iron with each donation. Hemoglobin...

..., Stage 2, and Stage 3 of reduced BIS, respectively. Of the donors, 11.2% were in Stage 2 of reduced BIS. Further donations in such cases can compromise donor safety. Conclusion: The present study demonstrates iron depletion in regular voluntary blood donors. In 11.2% of the donors, iron deficiency...

.... Enhanced eryptosis is observed in diabetes, renal insufficiency, hemolytic uremic syndrome, sepsis, mycoplasma infection, malaria, iron deficiency, sickle cell anemia, beta-thalassemia, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase-(G6PD) deficiency, hereditary spherocytosis, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria...

... group and in the case group, respectively (p < 0.0000). The mean level of serum ferritin in group I, II and III, was 108, 56 and 26 mg/l, respectively (p < 0.0000). When studying various stages of iron deficiency in donors, it could be shown that 58% of group III donors but only 1% of control...

...P. Nielsen; H. Dietzfelbinger; J.P. Kaltwasser Regular blood donors in Germany still have a high risk to become iron-deficient. Without consequent iron substitution the development of depleted iron stores is almost unavoidable. A practicable way out of this dilemma is to combine each blood donation...
