Reticulocyte Hemoglobin as a Screening Test for Iron Deficiency Anemia: A New Cut-Off.

Introduction: Latent iron deficiency (LID), in which iron stores in the body are depleted without incidental anemia, poses a key diagnostic challenge.

Consequently, Ret-Hb has been proposed as an efficient iron status marker.

A Glimpse into Milestones of Insulin Resistance and an Updated Review of Its Management.
