Serum Ferritin Levels in Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been associated with various acute and chronic inflammatory diseases, as has serum ferritin, an intracellular iron storage protein. Little is known about the relationship between severity of OSA and serum ferritin levels in otherwise healthy subjects. In this study,...

description | Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been associated with various acute and chronic inflammatory diseases, as has serum ferritin, an intracellular iron storage protein. Little is known about the relationship between severity of OSA and serum ferritin levels in otherwise healthy subjects. In this study, all polysomnographic recordings, serum levels of ferritin, C-reactive protein (CRP), and hemoglobin, as well as patient files from 90 consecutive, otherwise healthy individuals with suspected OSA who presented to a tertiary sleep medical center were retrospectively analyzed. For comparison, three groups were formed based on apnea–hypopnea index (AHI; none or mild OSA: <15/h vs. moderate OSA: 15–30/h vs. severe OSA: >30/h). Serum ferritin levels were significantly positively correlated with AHI (r = 0.3240, p = 0.0020). A clear trend of higher serum ferritin levels was found when patients with severe OSA were compared to those without or with mild OSA. Serum CRP and serum hemoglobin levels did not differ significantly among OSA severity groups. Age and body–mass index (BMI) tended to be higher with increasing OSA severity. The BMI was significant higher in patients with severe OSA compared to those without or with mild (p < 0.001). Therefore, serum ferritin levels may provide a biochemical surrogate marker for OSA severity. |
