Impact of obesity on iron metabolism and the effect of intravenous iron supplementation in obese patients with absolute iron deficiency.
Sci Rep
January 2025
Internal Medicine Service, Hospital Viamed Santa Ángela de la Cruz, Seville, Spain.
Obesity and iron deficiency (ID) are widespread health issues, with subclinical inflammation in obesity potentially contributing to ID through unclear mechanisms. The aim of the present work was to elucidate how obesity-associated inflammation disturb iron metabolism and to investigate the effect of intravenous (IV) iron supplementation on absolute iron deficient pre-obese (BMI 25.0-29.

Anemia is a health problem of concern among schoolchildren in underprivileged rural regions, where recurrent parasitic infections are common. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 229 schoolchildren in rural highland Bolivia in the department of La Paz, an area with a high prevalence of protozoan and helminth infections, to determine the types and mechanisms of anemia. A substantial proportion of children (40.

Background: Iron metabolism may play a role in cardiovascular disease (CVD) pathogenesis. The association between iron metabolism and CVD has yet to be fully investigated. This study evaluated whether iron metabolism was associated with CVD risk and whether the body mass index (BMI) of US adults varied the association.

Background: Soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) is a useful marker in the differentiation of anemia. Clinical utility is limited by lack of standardization between measurement procedures and interpretative recommendations. Our objective was to evaluate the analytical performance of a research sTfR immunoturbidimetric assay (Alinity c, Abbott Diagnostics) and compare it to three established measurement procedures.

Iron homoeostasis is tightly regulated, with hepcidin and soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) playing significant roles. However, the genetic determinants of these traits and the biomedical consequences of iron homoeostasis variation are unclear. In a meta-analysis of 12 cohorts involving 91,675 participants, we found 43 genomic loci associated with either hepcidin or sTfR concentration, of which 15 previously unreported.
