“…As iron is a crucial part of hemoglobin, its lack is connected to stunting, developmental delay, and changes in immune processes that go beyond anemia 33 . Several researchers demonstrate that high levels of hepcidin produce hemochromatosis, or an overload of iron, whereas too little hepcidin causes Fe deficiency anemia [34][35][36] . Certain investigations study the impact of growth hormones on hepcidin levels and fetus iron metabolism in many diseases such as Acromegaly, but not in GHD patients.…”

Hepcidin (Hep.) is a protein that maintains iron balance in the body. The Information about the role of Hep. in pathophysiology that is associated with growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is scarce. This study evaluates the correlation of Hep. with some biochemical parameters: Growth Hormone (GH), Insulin-Like Factor-1 (IGF-1), Iron, Vitamin D, Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP), Calcium, Phosphorous, and Ferritin in growth hormone deficient children. Children with GHD (60) and healthy volunteers (60) participated in this study, and their serum samples are collected from National Diabetes Center- Almustansirya University from the period January to April 2022. Enzyme Linked Immune Sorbent Assay (ELIZA) is used to measure Hep. while Chemiluminescence immunoassay is to measure GH and IGF-1.Results demonstrate significant decrease of p<0.01 in the Hep. level in the sera of GHD patients when compared to healthy individuals, and iron levels increase. This can be explain the inverse relationship between hepcidin and iron .It is an important regulator of iron absorption, this mechanism through Hep. preventive any impact against anemia by increasing the bioavailability of (Fe). Therefore, this study is carried out to give a better understanding about the parameters that affect the children with GHD and Hep. that can be a dependable parameter for better management of those children.
