In humans, hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit provide information about iron utilization in erythropoiesis. These parameters, however, can be confounded by inflammation, pregnancy, dehydration, polycythemia, hemoglobinopathies, and by deficiencies of vitamin B12 or folic acid (Gibson 1990). Plasma ferritin reflects body iron stores, but is also confounded by inflammation, liver diseases, leukemia, Hodgkin s disease, or alcohol intake. Transferrin saturation and plasma transferrin receptor are valuable parameters to support the diagnosis of iron deficiency and ineffective erythropoiesis (Thorstensen and... [Pg.812]

Stimulation of erythropoiesis under the influence of glucocorticoid is demonstrated by the existence of polycythemia in patients with Cushing s disease or in individuals repeatedly injected with corticoid hormones. The mechanism of this stimulation is not known. [Pg.471]
