Hepcidin is a 25-amino-acid peptide synthesized and secreted by hepatocytes, circulates in blood plasma, mostly free or binding weakly to albumin and a2-macroglobulin, and is filtered by the kidney. Hepcidin binds to FPN, responsible for transfer of iron from the intracellular space to the systematic circulation.

Ferritin: This is the best marker for iron deficiency. Ferritin is the storage form of iron in the body. We consider iron deficiency that requires treatment to be a ferritin < 20. Children with ferritin values between 20 and 30 may benefit from an iron supplement or a multivitamin with iron. Preventing and Treating Iron-Deficiency Anemia

This cut-off value indicates the need for further clinical and laboratory evaluation to establish the diagnosis and underlying cause of the ferritin levels.

Ferritin is an indicator of iron stores and is the most sensitive and specific biomarker for assessing ID. The WHO defines low ferritin as levels <15 µg/L for adults and <12 µg/L for children.6 However, in clinical practice, when ferritin levels dip below 30 µg/L, ID can be ascertained.7 Ferritin is an acute-phase reactant that is increased

The serum ferritin level is a widely used peripheral iron biomarker. It is thought to be corre-lated with iron stores in the absence of inflammation, while serum ferritin levels are reflected by the iron storage with the amplification of inflammation. Then, low serum ferritin levels generally indicate absolute? iron deficiency accurately.

Abstract: Ferritin is a multimeric protein composed of light (L-ferritin) and heavy (H-ferritin) subunits that binds and stores iron inside the cell. A variety of mutations have been reported in the L-ferritin subunit gene (FTL gene) that cause the following five diseases: (1) hereditary hyperferritinemia

High Serum Ferritin results are a common finding in primary care. Because ferritin is an acute phase reactant this is usually due to inflammation, malignancy or liver disease. It can less commonly be associated with iron overload. This guide is designed to aid primary care physicians investigating hyperferritinaemia, the main causes of which ...

Diagnosing iron overload. Typically in iron overload, iron studies show elevated ferritin, serum iron and transferrin saturation; there is a decrease in both TIBC and transferrin. A raised transferrin saturation is often an early marker of iron overload; a saturation of >45% is highly suggest-ive of iron overload.19 Table 1 summarizes these ...

Your blood results have shown that the amount of iron you have in your blood is low. Iron Deficiency is measured by two proteins: Ferritin and Transferrin saturation. Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in the cell, particularly the liver. Measurement of Ferritin reflects the body’s iron stores. A low Ferritin means a low store of iron.
