“…Focusing on the serum zinc level, there is still no pathogenesis to explain the problem in the case of iron deficiency, but there is already a report confirming that hemoglobinopathy can result in low serum zinc levels [4]. Hence, to apply the recommendation of Özhan et al, further studies are required for validation, and attention to possible concomitant hemoglobinopathy is necessary [1]. …”

SummaryKein Nährstoff fehlt dem Menschen häufiger als Eisen, doch bis heute wird eine Eisenmangelanämie häufig übersehen. Meist sind Blutungen oder Mangelernährung verantwortlich, aber auch Darmentzündungen und Verwertungsstörungen müssen abgeklärt werden. Vier Schritte führen in der Regel zum Therapieerfolg: Diagnose, Beseitigung der Ursache, Eisensupplementierung und Ernährungsumstellung.

“…Zinc acts as the catalyst in iron metabolism in the activity of alpha-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase enzyme, which plays a role in heme synthesis [6]. Zinc is found in the structure of the growth factor independent 1B (Gfi-1B) zinc finger protein, which functions as a regulator in erythroid cell growth by 1 1 1 modulating gene expression specific to erythroid series [7,8].…”

Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is the most common type of anemia. Impaired iron absorption can be caused by a decrease in trace elements as zinc, which is found in the structure of enzymes that coordinate or catalyst iron metabolism. The aim of this study is to detect if zinc deficiency is associated with IDA and to determine the effect of associated zinc deficiency on symptoms of IDA in adult IDA patients. This case-control study included 30 IDA patients with matched healthy control group (n = 30) for age and sex. For each subject, the parameters were evaluated: hemoglobin (Hb); mean corpuscular volume (MCV), total iron binding capacity (TIBC), serum iron, serum ferritin (SF). Serum zinc levels were measured by atomic absorption method with the PerkinElmer Analyst. Symptoms attributed to iron deficiency or depletion, defined as fatigue, cardiopulmonary symptoms, mental manifestations, epithelial manifestations, and neuromuscular symptoms were recorded. Serum zinc levels were lower in IDA patients (43.4 ± 7.9 mg/dL) than in the control subjects (94.7 ± 16.75 mg/dL; p < 0.0001). Zinc deficiency was associated with worse cardiovascular symptoms (p = 0.04), epithelial symptoms (p = 0.027), and restless leg syndrome (p < 0.001) in patients with IDA. Measurement of zinc levels should be considered for IDA patients. With the help of our study, iron and zinc supplementation instead of only iron replacement may be considered in cases of iron deficiency particularly, in patients with severe epithelial dysfunctions. Further studies are still needed to evaluate the benefit of zinc and iron supplementation in IDA patients.
