Ferrokinetic Parameters and Regulation of Iron Metabolism in Patients with Chronic Inflammatory Bowel Diseases
Journal Title: Гастроентерологія - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 54
Abstract
Article presents parameters of iron metabolism and cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-α) in patients with chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (CIBD). The material for the study was the blood of 69 patients with CIBD and anemia and 26 — without anemia. We have studied the features of main ferrokinetic parameters — iron, total iron-binding capacity of serum, transferrin saturation, ferritin, transferrin receptor, erythropoietin, hepcidin depending on hemoglobin level and the type of anemia. The relationship of iron metabolism disorders with the level of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-α) is shown.
