Abstract
Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is typically caused by inadequate intake of iron, chronic blood loss, or a combination of both. The IDA is characterized by microcytic hypochromic erythrocytes and low iron stores. Functional iron deficiency (FID) is a state in which there is insufficient iron incorporation into the hemoglobin of erythroid precursors in the face of apparently adequate body iron stores. Bone marrow smears and blood investigation report of patients age more than 18 years and of either sex who are referred to the Department of Pathology for bone marrow aspiration as part of diagnostic work up for anemia were included in this study. In our study, there is a significantly steady increase in serum ferritin with Gale’s grade with mean serum ferreting values of 22.2±14.7, 91.4±56.5, 233.3±92.8, 677.7±553.7 and 1191.9±479.3 for grade 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively. In our study, there was a significant decline in mean serum TIBC levels with Gale’s grade with mean serum TIBC values of 407.6±46.8, 335.4±64.7, 257.2±51.9, 229.3±104.2 and 315.4±96.2 for grade 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively.
