Abstract:

Chronic disease anemia (CHD) is the second most common form of anemia after iron deficiency anemia and is accompanied by a wide range of inflammatory, infectious, oncological, and autoimmune processes. The purpose of the study was to assess the prognostic significance of ferritin and the transferrin saturation coefficient (TSA) as key biomarkers that allow differentiating ASD, determining the depth of functional iron deficiency, and predicting the severity of the underlying disease. 120 patients with confirmed AH were examined, divided into three groups depending on the severity of the inflammatory process. It has been established that low CNT (<20%) and high ferritin (>200 ng/ml) significantly correlate with inflammation activity (CRP, ESR), organ damage severity, and disease duration. ROC analysis showed high diagnostic accuracy of the "ferritin + KNT" combination (AUC=0.87). The obtained data confirm that these indicators can be used as reliable prognostic markers in clinical and laboratory practice.
