maintaining body homoeostasis. Iron deficiency is an important co-morbidity in patients with …

Aims Beyond erythropoiesis, iron is involved in numerous biological processes crucial for
maintenance of homeostasis. Patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) are prone to develop …

BACKGROUND: Iron is utilized by several proteins as cofactor for major biological
processes. However, iron may also harm cells by catalyzing the generation of free radicals …

A systematic search was conducted to determine the characteristics of perioperative anemia,
its association with clinical outcomes, and the effects of patient blood management …

Iron deficiency is a major heart failure co‐morbidity present in about 50% of patients with
stable heart failure irrespective of the left ventricular function. Along with compromise of daily …

Background The production of peroxide and superoxide is an inevitable consequence of
aerobic metabolism, and while these particular'reactive oxygen species'(ROSs) can exhibit a …

To date, concentrations of the promising biomarker hepcidin have only been assessed in
serum of relatively small series of healthy volunteers and patients. We assessed age-and …
