Diagnostic Significance of Biomarkers of Iron Deficiency for Anemia in Clinical Practice.

Aim: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a common medical condition, yet there is still some diagnostic uncertainty in this respect. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical significance of biomarkers of iron deficiency (ID) in diagnosing IDA and iron-deficient erythropoiesis in anemic patients.

Materials And Methods: A total of 103 untreated patients with non-hemolytic anemia were included.

Most of the cases present in extranodal sites, but primary gastric involvement is exceptional.
