Medical Forum / General / Laboratory / June 2004Iron deficient anemia / yes ? or no ?
It seems everything we have thought about .. anemia .. iron deficient anemia .. is NOW .. up .. in .. the .. air .. ? As I proposed .. Nutrition "The diagnostic criteria for iron deficiency in infants should be reevaluated." Acta Paediatr. 2004 Apr;93(4):436-9. Related Articles, Links Iron deficiency and iron deficiency anaemia during infancy and childhood. Zetterstrom R. The present definition of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anaemia is under debate. Our present figures for the prevalence of iron deficiency in infants and toddlers are thus disputed. CONCLUSION: Better understanding of the regulation of iron metabolism and requirement during the critical early period of growth and development is needed for relevant control of iron deficiency anaemia.

Nutrition 12/20/2002 By Robert Short The current definitions for iron deficiency and iron deficiency anaemia in infants are inadequate and need evaluation. A study of 263 exclusively breast-fed infants in Honduras and Sweden who were randomly assigned to receive iron supplementation or placebo has led researchers in Sweden and the United States to this conclusion. Blood samples were taken from the children at age 4, 6 and 9 months. Reference ranges were determined using three different approaches for defining iron-replete infants. The researchers evaluated various variables for predicting the haemoglobin response to iron. Dr M Domellof, from the Department of Clinical Sciences, Pediatrics, Umea University, Umea, Sweden, said, "The haemoglobin response to iron was not a useful definition of iron deficiency anaemia at 4 months of age. Haemoglobin, mean cell volume, and zinc protoporphyrin at 6 months as well as growth variables predicted the haemoglobin response at 6-9 months, but ferritin and soluble transferrin receptors at 6 months did not." The investigators concluded that there was a need for a re-evaluation of the definitions of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anaemia. They had set out to establish the cut-off values for the different variables. They found the two standard deviation cut-off values in iron-replete infants to be as follows: haemoglobin <105 g/L at 4-6 months and <100 g/L at 9 months; zinc protoporphyrin >75 micro mol/mol haem at 4.6 months and >90 micro mol/mol haem at 9 months; ferritin <20 micro g/L at 4 mo, <9 micro g/L at 6 mo and <5 micro g/L at 9 mo; and soluble transferrin receptors >11 mg/L at 4-9 months.
