Soluble Transferrin Receptor and Soluble Transferrin Receptor-Ferritin Index for Evaluation of the Iron Status in Elderly Patients

open access: yesTohoku Journal of Experimental Medicine, 2004
We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic values of soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) concentration, transferrin-ferritin index (soluble transferrin receptor concentration/log ferritin), ferritin levels and other related parameters in geriatric patients with anemia of chronic disease (ACD) and iron deficiency (IDA).

Biological and clinical aspects of soluble transferrin receptor

open access: yesCritical Reviews in Clinical Laboratory Sciences, 2010
Soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR), one of the main regulators of cellular iron homeostasis, is the truncated form of the tissue receptor that is encoded by the human TfR gene (chromosome 3). Serum sTfR levels are determined to detect iron deficiency (ID) in inflammatory states and in anemia of chronic disease (ACD) and to monitor the efficiency of ...

Comparison of soluble and placental transferrin receptors as standards for the determination of soluble transferrin receptor in humans

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, 2007
SummaryTransferrin receptor is a transmembrane protein that mediates iron transport from blood into cells. The extracellular part of this receptor circulates in blood as soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) and the immunological determination of this parameter is widely used in clinical practice.

Soluble transferrin receptor in complicated anemia

Clinica Chimica Acta, 2014
Determination of serum soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) has been proposed to identify iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) in patients affected by concurrent inflammatory disease that may spuriously increase ferritin concentration. The aim of this study was to critically review the available literature to assess the diagnostic efficacy of sTfR in ...

Relationship between Soluble Transferrin Receptors in Serum and Membrane-Bound Transferrin Receptors

Acta Haematologica, 1998
The expression of transferrin receptors on the cell membrane of erythroblasts was analysed with flow cytometry in patients with different forms of anaemia. At the same time the concentration of soluble transferrin receptors (sTfRs) was analysed in serum. It was shown that only in iron deficiency a high concentration of sTfRs in serum could be explained

Soluble transferrin receptor for the evaluation of erythropoiesis and iron status [PDF]

open access: yesClinica Chimica Acta, 2003
Iron transport in the plasma is carried out by transferrin, which donates iron to cells through its interaction with a specific membrane receptor, the transferrin receptor (TfR). A soluble form of the TfR (sTfR) has been identified in animal and human serum. Soluble TfR is a truncated monomer of tissue receptor, lacking its first 100 amino acids, which

Pediatric reference intervals for soluble transferrin receptor and transferrin receptor-ferritin index

World Journal of Pediatrics, 2009
Recent studies showing an improved diagnosis of iron deficiency (ID) with soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) and sTfR-ferritin index did not take into account the age-dependency of sTfR and ferritin. Moreover, there is a paucity of data on pediatric reference intervals for sTfR and sTfR-ferritin index.A study cohort of 436 apparently healthy children ...

Soluble Transferrin Receptor

Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2002
To assess the impact of pregnancy and lactation on iron status and erythropoiesis as measured by the soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR).We recruited women in early pregnancy to be followed for 2 years. We determined sTfR and sTfR/serum ferritin (sTfR/Fer) during puerperium (n = 77), lactation (n = 111), and postlactation (n = 57), with comparison to ...

Measurement of soluble transferrin receptor by immunoturbidimetry and immunonephelometry

Clinical Biochemistry, 2000
To evaluate and compare two new commercially available immunoturbidimetric and immunonephelometric assays for measuring soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) in serum. To adapt the immunonephelometric assay to an automated chemistry analyzer.Total imprecisions and detection limits were calculated and compared.

Immunological study of complex formation between soluble transferrin receptor and transferrin [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Hematology, 2005
Transferrin receptor (TfR) is a dimeric transmembrane protein that provides iron transport from plasma to cells by binding and internalization of iron-loaded transferrin (Tf). Soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) is an extracellular part of the TfR molecule that is truncated from the cell surface and released into the blood stream.
