Abstract Anemia and iron deficiency (ID) are common in patients with heart failure (HF) and intravenous (IV) administration of iron to patients hospitalized for decompensated HF with ID improves outcome. The diagnosis of ID in routine practice is based on serum ferritin and transferrin saturation (TSAT) but both have limitations; alternatives should be considered. Reticulocyte hemoglobin equivalent (Ret-He) reflects iron content in reticulocytes but its clinical utility in patients with HF remains uncertain. We prospectively enrolled 142 patients hospitalized for decompensated HF. Sixty five percent had ID as defined in current international guidelines. Ret-He was directly correlated with serum iron and ferritin concentrations and with TSAT. There was a poor relationship between quartile of Ret-He and HF hospitalization or death but increases or decreases in Ret-He between admission and discharge were associated with a worse outcome. The clinical utility of Ret-He for identifying ID and predicting response to IV iron and prognosis for patients with HF requires further investigation. |
