Iron Deficiency Anemia-Induced Neutropenia in Adult Female

Abstract: Iron deficiency anemia is a common cause of anemia that develops when body stores of an iron drop too low to support normal red blood cell (RBC) production. Inadequate dietary iron, impaired iron absorption, bleeding, or loss of body iron in the urine may be the cause. Iron is a key part of red blood cells. Without iron, the blood cannot carry oxygen effectively. Our body normally gets iron through the diet. It also reuses iron from old red blood cells. A little is known about the association between iron defi… Show more

“…While iron overload and high heme levels are known to impair the function of mature neutrophils ( 50 , 51 ), how iron scarcity specifically affects neutrophils is not well understood ( 52 ). Cases of neutropenia associated with iron deficiency and reversed upon iron therapy have been reported ( 53 , 54 ). In addition, DFP, an iron chelator mainly used to treat iron overload in patients with thalassemia, has been shown to cause neutropenia via a yet unclear mechanism ( 55 ).…”

“…While iron overload and high heme levels are known to impair the function of mature neutrophils (Martins et al, 2016, Renassia et al, 2020), how iron scarcity specifically affects neutrophils is not well understood (Abuga et al, 2020). Cases of neutropenia associated with iron deficiency and reversed upon iron therapy have been reported (Abuirmeileh et al, 2014, Abdelmahmuod et al, 2020). Also, DFP, an iron chelator mainly used to treat iron overload in Thalassemia patients, has been shown to cause neutropenia via a yet unclear mechanism (Kontoghiorghes et al, 2020).…”

“…Therefore, in this study, the possible hematomodulation of Scrophularia striata extract against AgNPs-induced hepatoxicity was investigated. The CBC test, which examines the morphological characteristics and number of different types of blood cells (Red blood cells, Leukocytes, and Platelets) per cubic millimeter of blood, is one of the most common tests and provides valuable infor-mation about different types of blood cell disorders, such as anemia (24).…”
