Guideline for the laboratory diagnosis of functional iron deficiency.

TLDR
One form of FID, found in some subjects treated with erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs), has been the subject of numerous studies following the widespread use of these agents, especially in subjects with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Abstract
Functional iron deficiency (FID) is a state in which there is insufficient iron incorporation into erythroid precursors in the face of apparently adequate body iron stores, as defined by the presence of stainable iron in the bone marrow together with a serum ferritin value within normal limits (Macdougall et al, 1989). In its broadest sense this definition encompasses the partial block in iron transport to the erythroid marrow seen in subjects with infectious, inflammatory and malignant diseases, and is a major component of the anaemia of chronic disease (ACD). One form of FID, found in some subjects treated with erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs), has been the subject of numerous studies following the widespread use of these agents, especially in subjects with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Perioperative anemia management in colorectal cancer patients: A pragmatic approach

TL;DR: Anemia, usually due to iron deficiency, is highly prevalent among patients with colorectal cancer, and a multidisciplinary, multimodal, individualized strategy used to minimize or eliminate allogeneic blood transfusion is indicated to improve outcomes.

Pre-operative anaemia.

TL;DR: The incidence and impact of anaemia on the pre‐operative patient is reviewed, how anaemia may be caused by functional iron deficiency, and how iron deficiency anaemia might be diagnosed and treated are explained.

Non‐anaemic iron deficiency – a disease looking for recognition of diagnosis: a systematic review

TL;DR: To capture all data meeting a rigid definition of non‐anaemic iron deficiency (NAID) and determine whether it is associated with poor outcomes compared with normal iron status and whether iron supplementation improves outcomes in NAID.

Current misconceptions in diagnosis and management of iron deficiency.

TL;DR: The intent of the authors is to provide a consensus that effectively challenges misconceptions, and to highlight evidence-based alternatives for appropriate management, and it is believed that this approach to the management of iron deficiency may be beneficial for both patients and healthcare systems.

Transferrin Saturation: A Body Iron Biomarker.

TL;DR: Beyond its usual clinical use, an emerging body of evidence has linked TSAT levels to major clinical outcomes such as cardiovascular mortality, which has the potential to extend the utility of TSAT index to risk stratification and prognostication.

Hepcidin Regulates Cellular Iron Efflux by Binding to Ferroportin and Inducing Its Internalization

TL;DR: It is reported that hepcidin bound to ferroportin in tissue culture cells, leading to decreased export of cellular iron and the posttranslational regulation of ferroports by hePCidin may complete a homeostatic loop.

Serum transferrin receptor and its ratio to serum ferritin in the diagnosis of iron deficiency.

TL;DR: In anemic patients, TfR measurement is a valuable noninvasive tool for the diagnosis of iron depletion, and offers an attractive alternative to more conventional laboratory tests in the detection of depleted iron stores.
