Background Standardized practices are needed in the analysis of inflammation biomarker
values outside limits of detection (LODs) when used for inflammation correction of nutritional …

Background Iron deficiency is the commonest cause of anaemia worldwide. Serum ferritin is
the most sensitive non-invasive indicator of iron stores but its utility is compromised in …

Objectives No full international consensus exists on disease markers to be used for
assessing the human iron status. Therefore this study was conducted to compare …

Background: The World Health Organization recommends serum ferritin concentrations as
the best indicator of iron deficiency (ID). Unfortunately, ferritin increases with infections; …

The determination of iron status is challenging when concomitant infection and inflammation
are present because of confounding effects of the acute-phase response on the …

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Ferritin level is decreased in iron deficiency (ID) and increased in
inflammation as an acute-phase reacting protein. In the case of inflammation ferritin, level …

Objective Soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) is considered to be a useful biomarker for the
diagnosis of iron deficiency, especially in the setting of inflammation, as it is thought to not …

Previous research has suggested that high serum ferritin (SF) levels may be associated with
dyslipidemia. This study investigated the association between SF levels and dyslipidemia in …

Background Accurate assessment of iron and vitamin A status is needed to inform public
health decisions, but most population-level iron and vitamin A biomarkers are independently …

Depressive symptoms have become the most important global public health issue. Iron
plays an important role in brain function, cognition, and behavior, and its impacts on …
