Sci Rep: Serum ferritin levels, iron metabolism and osteoporosis of rheumatoid arthritis

Ferrinin is the main regulator of iron metabolism and steady state in the body, regulated by inflammationRecent studies have shown that ferritin and iron metabolism are associated withosteoporosis, and the purpose of this study is to determine whether levels of serum ferrite in patients withrheumatoid arthritis(RA) are associated with osteoporosisA total of 262 RA patients were selected (67.5 to 11.4 years old; 77.5 percent of women) were selectedSerum iron, ferritin and ferritin levels are positively correlated with each otherMulti-factor regression analysis showed that serum iron levels were positively correlated with femur T and Z scores, while serum iron tone levels were not associated with femur T and Z scoresSerum ferritin levels with serum???s levels?? 25-hydroxyvitamin Dlevels, while serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D levels are positively correlated with femur Z scoresthis study shows an indirect and direct association between serum ferritin and serum iron and osteoporosis in RA patients
