Serum iron is a medical laboratory test that measures the amount of circulating iron that is bound to transferrin. Clinicians order this laboratory test when they are concerned about iron deficiency, which can cause anemia and other problems. 65% of the iron in the body is bound up in hemoglobin molecules in red blood cells.
Blood assays for identifying hemorrhage after coronary revascularization therapy
A new blood assay is provided which identifies patients who develop hemorrhage after revascularization therapy based on temporal kinetics of free serum iron levels. This approach overcomes the limitations of gold-standard clinical practice of performing cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, as the latter is not always accessible due to poor availability and a high cost. The blood assay can be a new diagnostic approach to broadly permit classification of myocardial infarction based on hemorrhage status, and to allow for suitable management of hemorrhagic patients, who would otherwise carry a significant risk for heart failure and sudden death.
