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.
Question 1. Is ferritin an adequate marker of iron stores (risk of deficiency and risk of iron overload)? Summary of evidence. The evidence that informed the recommendation on ferritin as a marker of iron stores is based on three systematic reviews.
Infants with a birth weight of <1500 g should receive during the hospital stay and after discharge a total iron intake (dietary plus supplements) of 2-3 mg·kg −1 ·day −1. This dose should be modified based on hemoglobin and serum ferritin concentrations.
5 Νοε 2018 · Values of serum ferritin, serum iron, total iron binding capacity (TIBC) and transferrin in pediatric age (ranging from 2.5 to 97.5 percentiles). Iron deficiency develops in three steps. The first one is iron depletion or prelatent stage.
18 Μαΐ 2020 · For children, the haemoglobin identified serum ferritin threshold was 19·9 μg/L (95% CI 18·8–22·6) and the sTfR identified serum ferritin threshold was 20·0 μg/L (19·4–20·9; p=0·89). For women the haemoglobin identified serum ferritin threshold was 25·2 μg/L (24·2–26·2) and the sTfR identified serum ferritin threshold was 24 ...
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.
15 Ιουλ 2024 · The WHO defines ID as serum or plasma ferritin levels <15 ug/L in children older than 5 years, adolescents, and adults and less than 12 ug/L in children younger than 5 years (WHO, 2022).
