Brief Summary  

Iron status reflects balance between rate of erythropoiesis and iron stores in the

body.Iron deficiency is one of the most common nutritional deficiency in world

and a leading cause of anemia. Anemia is  very common and  significant in

country like India, Hence  early diagnosis is of  utmost importance .Anemia is

defined as  decreased concentration of Hemoglobin(Hb) in the blood, cutoff value

depending on age and gender.In practice  Anemia is usually diagnosed  based on

reduction of Hematocrit and Hb concentration ,but isolated  Hb measurement has

both low specificity and low sensitivity.  Several studies in the field of iron  

metabolism and erythropoiesis are modifying the traditional concepts on anemia.

These studies point out the need for reliable diagnostic parameters that allow better

evaluation of the causes underlying apparently similar clinical conditions. Thus

implying stronger collaboration between laboratory professionals and clinicians in

order to optimize early diagnosis of anemia by new analytical parameters viz.

RSf  (Red cell size factor) and LHD %.
