Specific thresholds for ferritin are used to detect iron deficiency and overload in different age groups. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 42% of children less than 5 years of age and 40% of pregnant women worldwide are anaemic.
21 Απρ 2020 · This guideline provides global, evidence-informed recommendations on the use of indicators for assessing a population’s iron status and application of the use of ferritin concentrations for monitoring and evaluating iron interventions.
The aim of this position paper is to review the field (see summary in Table 1) and provide recommendations regarding iron requirements of infants and toddlers (1–3 years of age), including those of moderately or marginally low birth weight.
18 Μαΐ 2020 · We examined distributions of haemoglobin and sTfR with serum ferritin and used restricted cubic spline regression models to determine serum ferritin thresholds for iron-deficient erythropoiesis. Findings.
6 Δεκ 2019 · Oral iron therapy is often required for at least 3 to 6 months to replete iron stores and normalize ferritin levels, although more time may be required depending upon the severity of IDA and ongoing losses.
Ferritin concentration should not be used alone to identify risk of iron overload. Patients with elevated ferritin levels should receive clinical and laboratory evaluation to establish the underlying cause (strong recommendation, very low certainty of evidence).
Increased ferritin levels have been widely associated with cardiovascular risk in adults. Whether ferritin levels and their changes during childhood are related to metabolic syndrome (MetS) at adolescence is unknown.
