Percentage of hypochromic red cells as a potential screening test to evaluate iron status in blood donors.

CONCLUSION: %Hypo-He with a cut-off value of 0.6% is a potential parameter with high sensitivity and specificity for evaluating iron status among blood donors. This parameter is suitable for screening because its measurement has a faster turnaround time than biochemical markers. PMID: 30938931 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
