Iron deficiency (ID) impairs hemoglobin (Hb) synthesis and immune function, both crucial for sepsis patients. We assessed the impact of iron dextran on reticulocyte (Ret) Hb equivalent (Ret-He) and Ret subpopulations in iron-deficient sepsis patients. In this prospective clinical study we enrolled patients with sepsis or septic shock with procalcitonin concentration > 0.5 ng/mL, diagnosed with ID based on Ret-He. Study subjects received divided doses of iron dextran until normalization of Ret-He. The study population included 35 subjects. The median Ret-He increase after 2 doses of iron dextran was 3.0 (IQR 1.9-6.1) pg (p < 0.01) with median time to normalization 4 (IQR 3-5) days. Although no change in Ret percentage [Me 1.5 (IQR 1.1-2.1) vs. Me 1.4 (IQR 1.1-2.4) %, p = 0.39] and number [Me 0.05 (IQR 0.04-0.07) vs. Me 0.05 (IQR 0.03-0.06) 10/µL, p = 0.88] was noted, Ret subpopulations changed significantly (p for all < 0.01). Divided doses of iron dextran relatively quickly normalize Ret-He in iron-deficient sepsis patients. Changes in Ret subpopulations suggest increased erythropoietic activity. Further research is needed to explore the role of intravenous iron in this clinical setting.
缺铁(ID)会损害血红蛋白(Hb)的合成和免疫功能,这对脓毒症患者至关重要。我们评估了右旋糖酐铁对缺铁性脓毒症患者网织红细胞(Ret)血红蛋白当量(Ret-He)和 Ret 亚群的影响。在这项前瞻性临床研究中,我们招募了降钙素原浓度>0.5ng/mL 的脓毒症或脓毒性休克患者,根据 Ret-He 诊断为 ID。研究对象接受右旋糖酐铁分剂量治疗,直至 Ret-He 正常化。研究人群包括 35 名患者。接受 2 剂右旋糖酐铁后,Ret-He 中位数增加 3.0(IQR 1.9-6.1)pg(p<0.01),中位数正常化时间为 4(IQR 3-5)天。虽然 Ret 百分比[中位数 1.5(IQR 1.1-2.1)与中位数 1.4(IQR 1.1-2.4)%,p=0.39]和数量[中位数 0.05(IQR 0.04-0.07)与中位数 0.05(IQR 0.03-0.06)10/µL,p=0.88]无变化,但 Ret 亚群明显变化(p<0.01)。右旋糖酐铁的分剂量治疗可相对较快地使缺铁性脓毒症患者的 Ret-He 正常化。Ret 亚群的变化表明红细胞生成活性增加。需要进一步研究来探讨静脉铁在这种临床情况下的作用。
