Iron Studies by Cause of Anemia

Serum Iron Levels:
- Thalassemia: Increased levels indicating iron overload.
- Anemia of Chronic Disease: Decreased levels due to inflammation interfering with iron metabolism.
- Iron Deficiency: Decreased levels reflecting insufficient iron.
- Lead Poisoning: Decreased levels associated with lead's interference in hemoglobin synthesis.
- Sideroblastic Anemia: Increased levels due to ineffective erythropoiesis.
- Hemochromatosis: Increased levels indicating excess iron accumulation.
- Pregnancy/OCP Use: Not applicable, no change recorded.
Transferrin or Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC):
- Thalassemia: Decreased, reflecting altered iron processing.
- Anemia of Chronic Disease: Decreased due to sequestering of iron.
- Iron Deficiency: Increased, as the body increases transferrin production to capture iron.
- Lead Poisoning: Increased, similar reasons as iron deficiency.
- Sideroblastic Anemia: Decreased, as iron is inadequately utilized.
- Hemochromatosis: Decreased due to saturation of iron stores.
- Pregnancy/OCP Use: Increased, as demands for iron storage rise.
Serum Ferritin:
- Thalassemia: Increased levels because of excess iron in the body.
- Anemia of Chronic Disease: Increased levels due to the body's response to inflammation.
- Iron Deficiency: Decreased levels indicating low iron stores.
- Lead Poisoning: Decreased levels aligning with iron utilization problems.
- Sideroblastic Anemia: Increased levels reflecting iron accumulation with ineffective use.
- Hemochromatosis: Increased levels indicating excessive iron storage.
- Pregnancy/OCP Use: Not applicable, no change recorded.
Percent Transferrin Saturation (calculated as Serum Iron/TIBC):
- Thalassemia: Decreased saturation levels, reflecting altered iron handling.
- Anemia of Chronic Disease: Decreased saturation due to disrupted iron availability.
- Iron Deficiency: Decreased saturation aligning with insufficient iron.
- Lead Poisoning: Decreased saturation indicative of disrupted hemoglobin synthesis.
- Sideroblastic Anemia: Increased saturation due to ineffective erythropoiesis.
- Hemochromatosis: Increased saturation, consistent with overload of iron.
- Pregnancy/OCP Use: Decreased saturation reflecting increased iron requirements.
