Abstract:
Objective:To study the critical value of soluble transferring receptor (sTfR) for assessing iron overload in Chinese adult men. Method:226 normal iron status and 331 iron overload men were drawn from National Nutrition and Health Survey 2002 as control group and case group respectively. To compare the sTfR concentration and distribution between two groups and ascertain the sTfR critical value to assess iron overload by ROC curve. Results:The concentrations of sTfR were 1 325.46?484.92 ng/ml, 1 788.56? 457.02 ng/ml in case group and control group respectively, the former lower than the latter (P
