Serum ferritin levels in hematologic malignant neoplasms.

A R Patel, P C Shah, R M Vohra

    Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine
    |October 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Elevated serum ferritin levels are significantly associated with various hematologic malignancies, including lymphomas and leukemias. This finding suggests serum ferritin may aid in diagnosing and monitoring these blood cancers.

    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Oncology
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Serum ferritin is an iron-storage protein.
    • Elevated ferritin levels can indicate inflammation or malignancy.
    • The role of serum ferritin in hematologic neoplasms requires further elucidation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between serum ferritin levels and clinical status in patients with hematologic malignant neoplasms.
    • To assess the potential diagnostic and prognostic value of serum ferritin in these conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of serum ferritin concentrations in 90 patients diagnosed with various hematologic malignant neoplasms.
    • Correlation of ferritin levels with clinical status and specific diagnoses.

    Main Results:

    • Significantly elevated serum ferritin levels were observed in patients with Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, blastic crisis of chronic myelocytic leukemia, acute myeloblastic leukemia, and acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
    • These findings indicate a strong association between high serum ferritin and specific hematologic cancers.

    Conclusions:

    • Serum ferritin concentration is significantly elevated in a range of hematologic malignant neoplasms.
    • Serum ferritin determination may serve as a valuable biomarker for the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with these cancers.
