Abstract | BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: METHODS: RESULTS: We found that 43.3%, 33.3%, 13.3%, 6.7%, and 20.0% of 30 AG+RAS/BD patients and 18.2%, 36.4%, 0%, 6.1%, and 9.1% of 33 AG־RAS/BD patients had hemoglobin, iron, vitamin B12, and folic acid deficiencies and hyperhomocysteinemia, respectively. Moreover, 30 AG+RAS/BD patients had significantly higher frequencies of hemoglobin, iron, vitamin B12, and folic acid deficiencies and of hyperhomocysteinemia than healthy control subjects (all P-values < 0.05), and had a higher frequency of hemoglobin deficiency (P = 0.058, marginal significance) and a significantly higher frequency of vitamin B12 deficiency (P = 0.046) than 33 AG־RAS/BD patients. In addition, the 33 AG־RAS/BD patients had significantly higher frequencies of hemoglobin and iron deficiencies than healthy control subjects (both P-values < 0.001). CONCLUSION:
