A study on cow's milk and nursing method in relation to iron deficiency
Ji Ung Kang, So Hee Jin, Kyung Dan Choi, Young Taek Jang
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2006;49(2):144-149.   Published online February 15, 2006
Purpose : This study investigated the breast-feeding period, the milk bottle-using period, the age of cow's milk, introduced and the amount of cow's milk consumed in relation to anemia. Methods : Over the course of three years, 930 children(12 months to 36 months) who went to the Presbyterian Medical Center, Chonju, Korea were tested for anemia and their parents were surveyed...
Serum Ferritin as a Risk Factor in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Jung Hyun Kim, Ho Seong Kim, Duk Hee Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2005;48(11):1239-1243.   Published online November 15, 2005
Purpose : Iron accumulation interferes with hepatic insulin extraction and affects insulin synthesis and secretion. The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation between serum ferritin and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods : We compared the serum ferritin level among 18 patients in an impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) group, 36 in a type 1 diabetes group, eight in...
Iron Deficiency Anemia and Iron Nutrition in Adolescent Female Athletes
Yang Kyong Kim, Bo Young Kang, Young Jin Hong, Byong Kwan Son, Kwang Hoi Kim, Soon Ki Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2004;47(10):1041-1046.   Published online October 15, 2004
Purpose : Iron deficiency, particularly iron deficiency anemia(IDA) often not only decreases athletic performance but also impairs immune function and leads to other physiologic dysfunctions. This study was designed to assess and compare iron status and the IDA prevalence in female adolescent athletes with those of general adolescent students. Methods : Physical measurements and hematologic examinations were performed for adolescent...
Anemia and Serum Iron Status in Adolescent Female
Ju Rae Cho, Soon Ki Kim, Sang Kyu Park, Jeong Ok Hah
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2002;45(3):362-369.   Published online March 15, 2002
Purpose : Anemia is still the most common nutrient deficiency worldwide, especially in adolescence because of an insufficient supply of iron, an increased iron requirement due to accelerated physical growth and blood loss due to menstruation in girls. This study was designed to assess the anemia and serum iron status of middle school girls. Methods : Hematologic examinations, physical examinations and...
Relationship of Maternal and Cord Serum Ferritin.
Hae Sung Cho, Jin Hyun Park, Hee Jung Kwon, In Sil Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1988;31(11):1453-1459.   Published online November 30, 1988
There is controversy as to whether maternal serum ferritin level influences the level of ferritin in the cord blood serum of newborns or not. The present study was designed to evalulate the influence of iron storage status of mothers on the newborn infant. Paired samples from 51 uncomplicated pregnant women and their newborns who were admitted to the department of OB & GY, National...
Iron Deficiency Anemia in Childhood and Diagnostic Significance of Serum Ferritin.
Dong Hyub Lee, Ki Hong Park, Kyu Chul Choi, Yong Mook Choi
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1988;31(5):577-583.   Published online May 31, 1988
In order to elucidate clinical and laboratory findings of the iron deficiency anemia(IDA) in childhood along with diagnostic significance of serum ferritin, 207 patients were analyzed retrospec- tively, who were hospitalized at Department of Pediatrics, Kyung Hee University Hospital from January 1981 to December 1986. The results were as follows; 1) The incidence of IDA in In-Patient was 1.6%. 2) The sex ratio of male to female was...
A Comparative Study on Serum Ferritin Concentrations in Anemic Patients Various Diseases.
Sei Woo Chung, Myung Ik Lee, Don Hee Ahn, Keun Chan Sohn
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1986;29(7):730-739.   Published online July 31, 1986
Ferritin is a high-molecular weight iron compound consisting of a protein shell, which has normally been considered as a storage compound from which iron is readily mobilized either into the transferrin-bound plasma pool or for intracellular heme synthesis. For comparison of serum ferritin concentrations in anemic patients of various diseases, we measured serum ferritin concentrations, serum iron concentrations, total iron...
Incidenc of Iron Deficiency Anemia and Changes in Serum Feffitin Level in Various Childhood Diseases.
Hak Sunh Kim, Kwang Joo Rhee, Tae Won Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1982;25(8):800-806.   Published online August 31, 1982
A serum ferritin level is now the most sensitive and specific assay for iron deficiency. Incidence of iron deficiency anemia was determined by means of the serum ferritin level and the response to iron therapy, and changes in serum ferritin level were observed in 421 hospitalized pediatric patients with various diseases. The results were as follows : 1. Incidence of...
A Study of Serum Ferritin Levels in Patients with Acute Infectious Hepatitis.
Jin Choi, Kyung Shin Kim, Woo Gill Lee, Keun Soo Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1982;25(7):669-673.   Published online July 31, 1982
Serum ferritin, iron, and total iron binding capacity were measured in 47 patients who were admitted to Hanyang University Hospital under the diagnosis of acute infectious hepatitis(excluding HBsAg positive patients) from September 1980 to March 1981. At the same time, serum transminase were estimated as indicator of liver function. Then we evaluated the relationship between serum ferritin, iron, and iron...
