Assessing the Immediate Increase in Serum Ferritin After Oral Iron Doses

Assessing the Immediate Increase in Serum Ferritin After Oral Iron Doses: an Experimental Study in Iron-deficient Women.

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 46 (actual)
• Sponsor: Jessica Rigutto · Academic / Other
• Sex: Female
• Age: 18 Years – 45 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

Serum ferritin is a key indicator of body iron stores and is widely used in monitoring iron status. However, oral iron doses can acutely elevate SF levels, potentially biasing assessments of iron stores during supplementation. This study aims to investigate the extent and duration of the acute iron-induced effect on serum ferritin, as well as its protein characteristics, following the administration of a single iron dose

Conditions

• Iron Deficiency (Without Anemia)

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT	40mg oral iron dosing	Participants will receive a single morning oral dose of iron as Fe57-labelled ferrous sulfate
DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT	100mg oral iron dosing	Participants will receive a single morning oral dose of iron as Fe57-labelled ferrous sulfate
DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT	180mg oral iron dosing	Participants will receive a single morning oral dose of iron as Fe57-labelled ferrous sulfate
