| 1 | The value of Ret-Hb and sTfR in the diagnosis of iron depletion in healthy, young children. | Iron | ret proto-oncogene | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | OBJECTIVES: Reticulocyte hemoglobin (Ret-Hb) content and soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) are described as promising biomarkers in the analysis of iron status. | Iron | ret proto-oncogene | Homo sapiens |
| 3 | We hypothesized that young children to iron depletion, using the WHO cutoff of ferritin <12 mug/l, would have lower Ret-Hb and higher sTfR concentrations compared to children with a ferritin >=level 12 mug/l. | Iron | ret proto-oncogene | Homo sapiens |
| 4 | RESULTS: We showed that concentrations of Ret-Hb and sTfR are similar in children with and without iron depletion. | Iron | ret proto-oncogene | Homo sapiens |
| 5 | CONCLUSIONS: Our results showed that the discriminative value of Ret-Hb and sTfR for the detection of iron depletion is limited. | Iron | ret proto-oncogene | Homo sapiens |
