Iron metabolism in burned children

Abstract: Hyposideraemia is a frequent finding in the acute phase of paediatric burns and is accompanied by increased ferritin levels and decreased transferrin concentrations. The low iron values tend to recover without the use of iron supplementation suggesting an endogenous block of iron release in the acute phase and indicates that iron therapy should be not recommended in the initial period of stress of the burned patient.

“…A marked feature of this disease is that in almost all patients very high serum ferritin levels are measured [9–12]. Normally a fixed correlation between CRP and ferritin is observed both in vitro and in vivo , with a CRP/ferritin ratio >100 in favour of CRP [13–15]. With the high ferritin levels in adult onset of Still’s disease there is dissociation between CRP and ferritin.…”

“…The human body adapts by altering the transport and distribution of micronutrients by blocking their mobilization 45 and inhibiting absorption 46–48 by organs like the liver, spleen, and macrophages, 49–52 all as part of the acute phase response.…”
