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.
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.
Early detection of iron deficiency: A low ferritin concentration can be an early sign of iron deficiency, even before symptoms such as anemia become visible. Timely diagnosis and treatment can prevent serious health problems.
This article summarizes iron metabolism and disorders associated with iron metabolism in dogs and cats. The diagnostic tests currently in use for assessing iron status are discussed. Keywords: Anemia of chronic disease; Ferritin; Hemochromatosis; Inflammation; Iron deficiency; Percent saturation; Transferrin.
1 Νοε 2013 · Serum ferritin is increased with inflammation (ferritin is a positive acute phase protein), hemolysis, liver injury (liver is major source of ferritin), and some neoplasias. ...
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).
11 Ιουλ 2023 · The higher levels in ferritin, together with higher TBIC, haematocrit, and MCV, could indicate tissue hypoxia in obese dogs.
