Ferritin is a major acute-phase protein in dogs, increasing during inflammation; however, it could also be affected by other conditions, including trauma, iron metabolism dysregulations, neoplasia, or hypoxia. Higher ferritin levels have been reported in obese humans, but ferritin has not been explored in canine obesity.
11 Ιουλ 2023 · The higher levels in ferritin, together with higher TBIC, haematocrit, and MCV, could indicate tissue hypoxia in obese dogs.
11 Ιουλ 2023 · To evaluate the possible changes in serum ferritin in canine obesity, ferritin levels from lean/normal weight (CG, n = 55) and overweight/obese dogs (OG, n = 37) were measured, together with complete hemogram and biochemical analyses.
23 Ιουλ 2013 · To evaluate the diurnal changes in serum iron, TIBC and ferritin levels in 5 normal dogs, we measured these levels at 8:00 am, 12:00 AM, 4:00 AM and 8:00 PM on the same day (Fig. 1).
What is ferritin? Ferritin is a protein found in the body of dogs (and humans) that serves as the main storage site for iron. It binds iron in a form that is safe and accessible to the body when it is needed. The concentration of ferritin in the blood is a reflection of iron levels in the body, making ferritin an important indicator of iron status.
23 Ιουλ 2013 · Diurnal changes in serum iron, TIBC and ferritin levels in 5 normal dogs. Individual and mean values (open circle) are shown for each sampling time. * P<0.05. Correlation between serum...
Serum iron tests are indicated when the results from a complete blood count (CBC) indicate that your pet is anemic (decreased red blood cell numbers and/or decreased hemoglobin) and that the red blood cells are microcytic (smaller than usual) and hypochromic (contain less hemoglobin than usual).
