Abstract

Plasma ferritin is considered the best measure of total body iron, with low levels diagnostic of iron deficiency. High levels have been associated with inflammation and infection. We determined the relationship between plasma ferritin, birth weight, and preterm delivery. Plasma ferritin and hematocrit values were measured at 19, 26, and 36 weeks' gestational age and correlated with birth weight and preterm delivery (< or = 32 and < 37 weeks) in 580 indigent black women. Hematocrit levels measured at any gestational age did not correlate significantly with birth weight or preterm delivery. Regardless of the gestational age of sampling, ferritin levels in the lowest quartile did not correlate significantly with subsequent preterm delivery. However, at 26 weeks, compared with the three lower quartiles, ferritin levels in the highest quartile were significantly associated with preterm delivery < or = 32 weeks, 6.5% versus 2.3% (p = 0.02), with preterm delivery < 37 weeks, 14% versus 8% (p = 0.04), and with birth weight < 1500 gm, 6.5% versus 2.0% (p = 0.01). Plasma ferritin levels in the highest quartile at 19, 26, and 36 weeks were associated with birth weight < or = 2500 gm, 14% versus 8% (p = 0.03), 12% versus 7% (p = 0.05), and...Continue Reading

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.
