To study iron status at different gestational ages using cord blood serum transferrin receptors (STfRs).
STfRs, iron, ferritin, total iron binding capacity, haemoglobin, and reticulocytes were measured in 144 cord blood samples. The babies were divided into three groups according to gestation (26 very preterm (24-29 weeks); 50 preterm (30-36 weeks); 68 term (37-41 weeks)).
Serum iron, ferritin, and total iron binding capacity were highest at term, whereas reticulocytes were highest in the very preterm. STfR levels were not influenced by gestation. Haemoglobin (r = 0.46; p < 0.0001) and reticulocytes (r = 0.42; p < 0.0001) were the only indices that independently correlated with STfR levels.
STfR levels in cord blood are not directly influenced by gestation and probably reflect the iron requirements of the fetus for erythropoiesis.
利用脐血血清转铁蛋白受体(STfRs)研究不同孕周的铁状态。
检测144份脐血样本中的STfRs、铁、铁蛋白、总铁结合力、血红蛋白和网织红细胞。根据孕周将婴儿分为三组(26例极早产儿(24 - 29周);50例早产儿(30 - 36周);68例足月儿(37 - 41周))。
血清铁、铁蛋白和总铁结合力在足月儿中最高,而网织红细胞在极早产儿中最高。STfR水平不受孕周影响。血红蛋白(r = 0.46;p < 0.0001)和网织红细胞(r = 0.42;p < 0.0001)是仅与STfR水平独立相关的指标。
脐血中的STfR水平不受孕周直接影响,可能反映胎儿红细胞生成的铁需求。
