Background: The aims of this study were to assess the relationship between red blood cell and reticulocyte indices and biochemical iron status measurements, and to define reference values of these markers in the cord blood of newborns.
Methods: In cord blood samples from 199 full-term newborns, cellular indices were assessed using an ADVIA 120 hematology system and iron status was analyzed by measurement of serum iron, transferrin, transferrin saturation (TfSat), transferrin receptor (TfR) and ferritin.
Results: Cellular hemoglobin in red blood cells or reticulocytes was independent of serum iron markers such as TfSat, TfR and ferritin...

Background: The objective of this study was to describe the natural kinetics of serum soluble transferrin receptor (S-TfR), ferritin and reticulocyte indices in preterm neonates, and to find out whether these analytes relate to hematocrit (Hct) level in determining the need for red cell (RBC) transfusions.
Methods: During a 2-year period, 100 preterm neonates were recruited in a tertiary level neonatal intensive care unit...
