Kan män ha järnbrist?
Kvinnor som passerat klimakteriet och vuxna män kan i vissa fall lida av järnbrist. Detta kan ske på grund av blödningar i magen eller tarmarna, i samband med exempelvis magsår eller tarmcancer eller i samband med sjukdomar såsom inflammatorisk tarmsjukdom eller hjärtsvikt.
Is serum ferritin an inflammatory marker?
Serum ferritin is also a well known inflammatory marker, but it is unclear whether serum ferritin reflects or causes inflammation, or whether it is involved in an inflammatory cycle. We argue here that serum ferritin arises from damaged cells, and is thus a marker of cellular damage.
What does ferritin mean in a blood test?
Ferritin is a blood protein that contains iron. A ferritin test helps your doctor understand how much iron your body stores. If a ferritin test reveals that your blood ferritin level is lower than normal, it indicates your body’s iron stores are low and you have iron deficiency. As a result, you could be anemic.
Why do serum ferritin levels correlate with other phenotypic readouts?
The facts that serum ferritin levels can correlate with both disease and with body iron stores are thus expected on simple chemical kinetic grounds. Serum ferritin levels also correlate with other phenotypic readouts such as erythrocyte morphology.
What is a normal ferritin level?
Ferritin is an intracellular iron storage protein and a marker of iron stores. Normal serum ferritin levels vary between laboratories but generally concentrations >300 µg/L in men and postmenopausal women and >200 µg/L in premenopausal women are regarded as elevated.
Vad ska jag äta vid järnbrist?
Om du vet att du har haft låga järnvärden tidigare, bör du äta mat som innehåller extra mycket järn. Det finns mycket järn i kött, fisk, ägg, inälvsmat och mat som är rik på blod, till exempel blodpudding. Det finns även järn i exempelvis fullkornsprodukter, potatis, spenat, bönor, nötter, frön och linser.
