Abstract AR
لقد تم قياس الحديد و الفرتين في مصل الدم و سعة ارتباط الحديد الشاملة عند السعودين من الجنسين منذ الولادة وحتى سن البلوغ.
و أدخل في هذه الدراسة الأشخاص الذين تماثل نسبة الهيموجلوبين لدى نظرائهم من الأصحاء في العمر و الجنس. وكان مستوى الحديد و الفرتين في مصل الدم متفقا مع الأنماط المتعارف عليها، و كان الحديد في مصل الدم عاليا عند الولادة و منخفضا في سن ٦-١٢ شهرا وكذلك عد البنات البالغات. أما الفرتين في مصل الدم، فإنه ينخفض إلى أدنى مستوى عند البنات والبنين البالغين بعد أن كان أعلى مستوى له الأربعة أسابيع التي تلي الولادة.
ويتوقع آن يصل مخزون الحديد عن سن ٢ ١ -٤ ١ سنة إلى درجة متدنية تدعو إلى المعالجة بالحديد. و أجريت مقارنة بين هذه الدراسة و ما سبق أن نشر من دراسات أخرى.
Abstract EN
The serum iron total iron binding capacity, and serum ferritin were measured in a normal Saudi population of both sexes, covering ages from birth to adolescence.
Normality was assured by including only those subjects whose haemoglobin concentrations fell within the accepted range for Saudi Arabians in the particular sex and age group.
Both serum iron and ferritin levels conformed to recognised patterns.
the serum iron was high-est at birth, lowest in children aged 6 to 12 months, and in adolescent girls.
The serum ferritin after peaking during the first four weeks of life, also reached its lowest levels in young children and adolescent girls.
In the age groups between 12 to 14 years, individuals are expected to have precarious iron stores, necessitating supplementation.
Comparison was also made with several published series and differences in the Saudi iron status stressed.
