Abstract
Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is the ultimate result of untreated iron deficiency. Zinc protoporphyrin (ZPP)/heme ratio levels are a direct marker of iron status in the bone marrow during erythropoiesis. We studied the value of this index in screening for iron depletion or for deficiency in children seen for routine examination in a community pediatric practice.
