Arterial oxygen content is precisely maintained by graded erythrocytotic responses in settings of high/normal serum iron levels, and predicts exercise capacity: an observational study of hypoxaemic patients with pulmonary arteriovenous malformations. [PDF]
Oxygen, haemoglobin and cardiac output are integrated components of oxygen transport: each gram of haemoglobin transports 1.34 mls of oxygen in the blood.

Correlation of serum ferritin with severity of liver disease
Background and Aim: Serum ferritin is a marker of hepatic inflammation and has been studied to predict mortality in decompensated cirrhotics. No study has been done to evaluate ferritin as an independent marker of liver disease severity.

The association between serum ferritin levels and malignant intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms
Background Serum ferritin levels are elevated in many malignancies. In this study, we showed the performance of serum ferritin in identifying malignant intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs).

Serum levels and positive rates of tumor biomarkers in oral precancer patients
Background/Purpose: Several previous studies have reported higher serum tumor marker levels in patients with oral or head and neck squamous cell carcinomas. This study evaluated whether 232 patients with oral precancerous lesions (oral precancer patients)

Outcome Predictive Value of Serum Ferritin in ICU Patients with Long ICU Stay
Background and Objectives: The simplified interpretation of serum ferritin levels, according to which low ferritin levels indicate iron deficiency and high levels indicate hemochromatosis is obsolete, as in the presence of inflammation serum ferritin ...

Significantly higher serum tumor marker levels in patients with oral submucous fibrosis
Background/purpose: Our previous study showed that carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC–Ag), and ferritin are significantly higher in patients with oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs including oral leukoplakia ...

New Perspectives on Circulating Ferritin: Its Role in Health and Disease
The diagnosis of iron disturbances usually includes the evaluation of serum parameters. Serum iron is assumed to be entirely bound to transferrin, and transferrin saturation—the ratio between the serum iron concentration and serum transferrin—usually ...
