Iron plays a significant role in the body, and is specifically important to athletes, since it is a
dominant feature in processes such as oxygen transport and energy metabolism. Despite its …

This is the fifth in the series of reviews developed as part of the Biomarkers of Nutrition for
Development (BOND) program. The BOND Iron Expert Panel (I-EP) reviewed the extant …

Iron is a micronutrient essential for cellular energy and metabolism, necessary for
maintaining body homoeostasis. Iron deficiency is an important co-morbidity in patients with …

Functional iron deficiency (FID) is a state in which there is insufficient iron incorporation into
erythroid precursors in the face of apparently adequate body iron stores, as defined by the …

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 …

Aims The changes in iron status occurring during the course of heart failure (HF) and the
underlying pathomechanisms are largely unknown. Hepcidin, the major regulatory protein …

Aim Acute heart failure (AHF) critically deranges haemodynamic and metabolic
homoeostasis. Iron is a key micronutrient for homoeostasis maintenance. We hypothesized …

Aims Iron deficiency (ID) is frequent in heart failure (HF), linked with exercise intolerance
and poor prognosis. Intravenous iron repletion improves clinical status in HF patients with …

Chronic liver disease is accompanied by multiple hematological abnormalities. Iron
deficiency anemia is a frequent complication of advanced liver disease. The etiology is …

Determination of serum soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) is proposed to distinguish
between iron-deficiency anemia and anemia of chronic disease. Here we conducted a meta …
