Features of Erythrocyte Morphology and Iron Metabolism in Patients with Helicobacteriosis

Abstract

The purpose of this scientific work was to study the morphological properties of erythrocytes and indicators of iron metabolism in patients with helicobacteriosis. The presence of H. pylori was confirmed in patients based on enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) results. The levels of serum iron, ferritin, transferrin and total iron-binding capacity of blood serum were taken as the main indicators of iron metabolism in the body. The results of the study showed that significant differences in the average values of serum iron and ferritin were determined in the studied groups. At the same time, based on the correlation analysis, a significant relationship was shown between the titer of antibodies to H. pylori and the levels of ferritin and serum iron.
