1 Reticulocyte hemoglobin content (RET-He), a measure of iron deficiency, has not been well evaluated prior to discharge in premature infants.Objectives: Our objectives were to evaluate RET-He and its correlation with serum ferritin (SF), an index of iron stores, at 35-36 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA) in <=32 weeks gestational age (GA) infants.Methods: We performed a prospective nested study involving 24-32 weeks GA infants who were receiving 2 mg/kg/day oral elemental iron with full enteral feedings at 35-36 weeks PMA.

2 RET-He increases with an increase in iron stores, suggesting that additional iron supplementation prior to discharge to very premature infants with borderline low RET-He may help prevent iron deficiency during early infancy. Iron ret proto-oncogene Homo sapiens
3 RET-He increases with an increase in iron stores, suggesting that additional iron supplementation prior to discharge to very premature infants with borderline low RET-He may help prevent iron deficiency during early infancy. Iron ret proto-oncogene Homo sapiens
4 RET-He increases with an increase in iron stores, suggesting that additional iron supplementation prior to discharge to very premature infants with borderline low RET-He may help prevent iron deficiency during early infancy. Iron ret proto-oncogene Homo sapiens
