[Why are soluble transferrin receptor levels increased in Biermer's anemia?].

Abstract

This report is devoted to a case report where a pernicious anemia is diagnostic associated with an increased soluble transferrin receptors. The soluble transferring receptor measurement represents a significant advance in assessment of iron status, specially in the diagnosis of iron deficiency associated with inflammation, but also in the evaluation of red blood mass during erythroid hyperplasias.
