relationship between ferritin and anemia parameters in females with iron deficiency anemia and inflammation

ABSTRACT

Objective: Iron deficiency is the leading cause of anemia worldwide, and measuring serum ferritin concentration is recognized as the gold standard test for iron deficiency anemia. In inflammation, however, hyperferritinemia occurs without evidence of iron overload. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between ferritin and other anemia parameters in female patients with a combination of iron deficiency anemia and inflammation
