Soluble transferrin receptor, Ferritin index in Pakistani population
Inflammation affects the reliability of ferritin. The serum level of transferrin receptor protein
(sTfR) represents true demand of iron in the body. This study attempts to identify levels of
sTfR and correlate the trends of sTfR/ferritin index with BMI in the population of Karachi. 132
gender matched volunteers between the ages of 20-60 years were recruited for this cross-
sectional study. BMI was calculated using the formula:(weight in kg/height in m2). Following
groups were made according to South Asian criteria of BMI; Group A: normal weight (18.0 …
