A group of 14 infants and children with nutritional iron-deficiency anemia were studied with respect to gastrointestinal function and structure both before and after iron treatment. A high incidence of abnormalities was found, consisting of gastric achlorhydria, impaired absorption of xylose and vitamin A, and steatorrhea. Duodenal biopsies revealed varying degrees of chronic duodenitis and mucosal atrophy. There was poor correlation between structure and function. Following treatment with oral iron most of the abnormalities reverted to normal. A control group of 8 children with long-standing anemias not due to iron deficiency were subjected to similar studies, most of which yielded normal results. These observations indicate a diffuse and reversible enteropathy in children as a result of iron deficiency. The pathogenesis and practical implications are discussed.

Abstract An excess hemolysis was found in subjects with iron deficiency anemia associated with hookworm infection. Red cell survival, measured with Cr51 and DFP32 in the subjects before deworming, showed a marked disproportion between the decrease of the survival and the amount of daily intestinal blood loss in most cases. Excess of hemolysis was still present after more than 90 per cent of the parasites were removed. Red cell survival became normal after correction of anemia through iron treatment. Excess of hemolysis was also present in noninfected subjects with iron deficiency anemia due to other causes. The reduction in the survival of the erythrocytes from infected subjects transfused into normal recipients shows that the hemolytic process is due to an intrinsic defect of the red cells. The low values of hemoglobinemia and the presence of haptoglobins in the plasma indicate that hemoglobin has not been liberated in excess intravascularly. Finally, the fact that the red cells from an infected patient taken after deworming survived normally in splenectomized recipients indicates that the spleen is probably the principal site of the red cell destruction. The clinical and autopsy findings suggest that splenic function is not pathologically increased, but rather that this organ is acting physiologically at a more rapid rate, "culling" the abnormal circulating red cells and thus leading to a decrease in red cell survival. The studies presented here also indicate that the hookworm infection per se does not induce hemolysis.

Abstract Urinary iron excretion and other aspects of iron metabolism were studied in patients with valvular heart disease before and after valve replacement with heterografts or Starr-Edwards prostheses. Eighty-one per cent of preoperative patients had increased daily urinary iron excretion (0.14-2.2 mg./24 hours) and 61 per cent had a reduced 51Cr survival time. Serum iron levels were low in two patients but iron-deficiency anemia was not observed. Fifty-three per cent of bone marrow aspirates had reduced or absent storage iron. Patients with normally functioning heterografts had no hemolysis and urinary iron excretion decreased exponentially with time until normal values were reached in 6-10 months after surgery. Calculated iron loss over a 6-month postoperative period varied from 11 to 360 mg. Serum iron levels and results of ferrokinetic studies returned towards normal, as did marrow iron stores. Seven patients (78%) with Starr-Edwards valves had evidence of hemolysis by the 51chromium survival method and six were anemic. Urinary iron loss was abnormal in all nine patients (0.8-10.8 mg./24 hours) and iron deficiency was a significant factor in the anemia noted. Iron therapy raised hemoglobin values in the two patients to whom it was administered. Urinary iron excretion was found to be a sensitive index of intravascular hemolysis, particularly in the presence of an intermittent hemolytic process.

AbstractObjective:The aim of this study was to evaluate the levels of ischemia-modified albumin (IMA), before and after oral iron supplementation in iron deficiency anemia and to determine the correlations between IMA and hemoglobin values.Study design:IMA, hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume, ferritin, iron, total iron binding capacity and albumin levels were measured in 140 female patients with newly established as iron deficiency anemia before and after treatment and in 84 female healthy controls.Results:IMA levels were higher in the anemia group [0.340±0.082 absorbance units (ABSU)] compared to control group (0.291±0.077 ABSU). After oral iron therapy we saw that IMA values (0.392±0.080 ABSU) were higher than the IMA levels of the anemia group and the control group (p<0.05). Only in the anemia group there were negative correlations between IMA and hemoglobin, hematocrit.Conclusion:We conclude that the high levels of IMA in the anemia group might be attributed to hypoxia due to low hemoglobin levels. Iron is an oxidant element and oral iron supplementation may be associated with oxidative stress and may increase IMA levels by changing the albumin molecule. We thought that, IMA can be demonstrative of the severity of anemia since it was correlated with hemoglobin in the anemia group.

Objective: This study aims to clarify the effects of intravenous iron supplementation on biomarkers for oxidative stress in women with iron deficiency anemia. Methods: This is a cross-sectional review of 40 healthy women and 40 women who underwent intravenous iron treatment due to anemia. Biochemical markers for oxidative stress were determined for both healthy controls and anemic patients. These markers were also evaluated at hour 1 and day 30 of intravenous iron treatment. Results: The patients with anemia had significantly higher catalase activity and total oxidant status (TOS) but significantly lower nitrate and total anti-oxidant status (TAS) than the healthy controls (p=0.0245, p<0.0001, p=0.0437 and p<0.0001 respectively). At hour 1 of intravenous iron treatment, nitrate, nitrite, nitric oxide, total thiol and TAS values were significantly lower and TOS values were significantly higher than those before the administration of treatment (p=0.0322, p=0.0003, p=0.0005, p<0.0001, p<0.0001 and p=0.004). At day 30 of intravenous iron treatment, catalase activity, nitrate, total thiol and TOS values were significantly lower than those before the administration of treatment (p=0.0332, p=0.0015, p=0.0391 and p<0.0001 respectively) and at hour 1 of treatment (p=0.0498, p<0.0001, p=0.0004 and p<0.0001 respectively). At day 30 of intravenous iron treatment, nitric oxide and TAS values were significantly higher than those before the administration of treatment (p=0.0480 and p=0.001 respectively) and at hour 1 of treatment (p<0.0001 for both). Conclusion: Intravenous iron replacement prompts oxidative stress at hour 1 of infusion in adults with anemia but this increase resolves partially in the following 30 days.

Background: Iron deficiency anemia is a micronutrient problem and the prevalence is still high. Catfish oil (Pangasius hypophthalmus) is a natural source of heme iron which can improve body iron levels.Objectives: This study was aimed to examine and analyze the effect of catfish oil on ferritin and sTfR levels in male wistar rats with iron deficiency anemia models.Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on male wistar rats which were divided into groups C- (standard feed), C+ (standard feed but had the iron removed), X1 (standard feed without iron but was supplemented with catfish oil), X2 (standard feed without iron but was supplemented with ferrous sulfate) for 14 days. Ferritin and sTfR levels were measured before and after intervention using ELISA.Results: The study showed an increase ferritin levels in X1 (21.87 ng/ml ±0.76), X2 (24.47 ng/ml ±0.54) and there was no significant difference between the two (p=0.069; p>0.05); a decrease in C- (0.25 ng/ml ±0.43), C+ (0.32 ng/ml ±0.059) (p=0.00; p<0.05). The sTfR levels decreased before and after intervention (p=0.00; p<0.05) in C+ (0.24 μ/mL ±0.99), X1 (60.66 μ/mL ±0.29), X2 (62.10 μ/mL ±0.90) and increased in C- (0.40 μ/mL ±0.97).Conclusions: The study indicates ferritin levels increased in the rats receiving catfish oil is not different from the rats that received ferrous sulfate and sTfR levels decreased significantly in wistar rats with iron deficiency anemia receiving catfish oil although the results were not as good as ferrous sulfate supplementation
