Soluble Transferrin Receptor and Soluble Transferrin Receptor/Log Ferritin Ratio are Correlated with Iron Status in Regular Hemodialysis Patients [PDF]
The Indonesian Biomedical Journal, 2021 BACKGROUND: Monitoring of iron status in chronic kidney disease patients is important, however inflammation may hinder its monitoring. Soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) is an alternative parameter to overcome this issue, whereas ferritin play a part in the inflammation process.

The significance of soluble transferrin receptors in diagnosing iron deficiency anemia
Romanian Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 2015 Introduction. In recent years, determination of soluble transferrin receptor levels has been emerging as a test that can reliably indicate iron deficiency in various states, and that is non-invasive and easy to use.

Origin of a soluble truncated transferrin receptor [PDF]
Blood, 1993 Abstract It has recently become evident that elevation of reticulocytes in the circulation of several species, including humans, leads to the formation of a noncellular transferrin receptor (TFR). In humans, the majority of the released receptor is in truncated form (Shih et al: J Biol Chem 265:19077, 1990). In other species (sheep, rat,

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 The liver-derived hormone hepcidin plays a key role in iron metabolism by mediating the degradation of the iron export protein ferroportin 1 (FPN1). Circulating levels of hepcidin and the iron storage protein ferritin are elevated during the recovery ...
