Popis: | Iron is one of the most important trace elements in the body, and its homeostasis is essential to the normal function of the immune system. Complement component C3, which is the converging of three main pathways of complement system activation, plays a key role in the innate immunity. However, the relationship between iron homeostasis and complement C3 remains unknown. The aim of our study was to analyze the relationship between serum iron and ferritin level and complement C3 and C4. A total of 590 healthy individuals were recruited in our study. Higher serum complement C3 level (p 104.0 μg/L). Moreover, serum iron level and serum ferritin level were positively correlated with complement C3 (r = 0.133, p = 0.001; r = 0.221, p |
