The role of urinary hepcidin in early detection of iron deficiency anemia

Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is one of the most severe and important nutritional deficiencies, especially in children all over the world. Iron deficiency may occur because of inadequate dietary intake, increase in physiological needs of the nutrient, and/or increased losses, which may lead to anemia...

description Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is one of the most severe and important nutritional deficiencies, especially in children all over the world. Iron deficiency may occur because of inadequate dietary intake, increase in physiological needs of the nutrient, and/or increased losses, which may lead to anemia. IDA has been associated with cognitive, motor, and behavioral impairment in children. The most commonly used tests to determine iron status include serum iron levels, ferritin, and others. However, these test have limited role in diagnosis of IDA. For this reason, there is great interest in investigating effective method for the diagnosis of IDA. The use of urinary hepcidin as a biomarker for the regulation of iron metabolism and its level decreased with IDA.
