Plasma ferritin and pregnancy outcome

OBJECTIVE: Plasma ferritin is considered the best measure of total body iron, with low levels diagnostic of iron deficiency. High levels have been associated with inflammation and infection. We determined the relationship between plasma ferritin, birth weight, and preterm delivery. STUDY DESIGN: Pla...

Zusammenfassung:	OBJECTIVE: Plasma ferritin is considered the best measure of total body iron, with low levels diagnostic of iron deficiency. High levels have been associated with inflammation and infection. We determined the relationship between plasma ferritin, birth weight, and preterm delivery. STUDY DESIGN: Plasma ferritin and hematocrit values were measured at 19, 26, and 36 weeks' gestational age and correlated with birth weight and preterm delivery ( ≤32 and
