Effects Of Postmenopausal Hip Fracture On Serum Ferritin Level

Objective To investigate the effects of postmenopausal hip fracture on serum ferritin level and to analyze the factors related to changes in serum ferritin.MethodA total of 98 cases of postmenopausal women with hip fragility fracture,with an average age of 73.80±9.76 years,from January 2014 to December 2016 were collected.In the control group,67 patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis,matched age and other general data were selected.The age was 73.00(12.00)years..And each group's body mass index,the blood routine index,blood biochemical index,bone turnover markers and iron metabolism index were statistically analyzed.Result(1)The level of serum ferritin in the fracture group was higher than that in the non-fractured group(P <0.05).At the same time,the hemoglobin and albumin levels in the fracture group were lower than those in the non-fractured group,the C-reactive protein and the fasting blood glucose level in the fracture group were higher than those in the non-fractured group(P <0.05).There was no significant difference in bone turnover between the two groups(P> 0.05);(2)The levels of serum ferritin and hemoglobin in femoral neck fracture group were higher than those in femoral intertrochanteric fracture group(P <0.05).There was a positive correlation between serum ferritin and hemoglobin in fracture group(r = 0.253,p <0.05);(3)After control of hemoglobin,serum ferritin was positively correlated with C-reactive protein(r = 0.121,P = 0.08).Conclusion Postmenopausal hip fragile fractures can affect serum ferritin levels.And serum ferritin levels were associated with C-reactive protein and hemoglobin.
