CorrelationAnalysis of Serum Ferritin,Hemoglobin and Serum Thyroid Hor-mones in Patients with Iron Deficiency Anemia
Objective To explore the relationship among serum ferritin(SF),hemoglobin(HB),and serum thyroid hormone levels in pa-tients with iron deficiency anemia(IDA).Method A retrospective analysis was conducted on 190 confirmed IDA patients,who were di-vided into mild,moderate,and severe groups according to the degree of anemia.They were divided into hyperthyroidism group,subclini-cal hyperthyroidism group,clinical hypothyroidism group,subclinical hypothyroidism group,and normal thyroid function group according to thyroid function.All study subjects underwent blood routine,serum ferritin,and thyroid hormone levels measurements.Results IDA with thyroid dysfunction accounted for 43.2%,IDA with subclinical hypothyroidism accounted for 45.1%,thyrotoxicosis accounted for 29.3%,clinical hypothyroidism accounted for 15.9%,and subclinical hyperthyroidism accounted for 9.8%.The incidence of IDA with thy-roid diseases was statistically significant(P<0.01).Mild,moderate,and severe IDA with thyroid dysfunction accounted for 47.4%,33.3%,and 60%,respectively;The prevalence rates of mild IDA patients with clinical hyperthyroidism,subclinical hyperthyroidism,hy-pothyroidism,and subclinical hypothyroidism were 75%,75%,38%,43.2%,moderate:20.80%,12.50%,30.80%,and 40.50%,and se-vere:4.20%,12.50%,30.80%,and 16.20%,respectively.The severity of IDA was statistically significant with the prevalence of thyroid diseases(P<0.05).Correlation analysis showed that in IDA patients with hypothyroidism and subclinical hypothyroidism,HB was corre-lated with free triiodothyronine(FT3),free thyroxine(FT4),and thyrotropin(TSH)(P<0.01),while SF was only correlated with TSH(P<0.05).In IDA patients with clinical hyperthyroidism and subclinical hyperthyroidism,SF and HB were correlated with FT3 and TSH,re-spectively(P<0.05),but not with FT4(P>0.05).In IDA patients with normal thyroid function,SF was correlated with FT3,FT4,and TSH(P<0.01),while HB was only correlated with FT4(P<0.01).Conclusions IDA can lead to changes in thyroid hormones,and there is a correlation between SF,HB and FT3,FT4,and TSH;The incidence of iron deficiency anemia with subclinical hypothyroidism is higher,with mild to moderate anemia being more common.Hemoglobin can better reflect the IDA with subclinical hypothyroidism compared to ferritin.
