Resumo
Iron Deficiency Anemia is a significant global issue, particularly affecting pregnant women and young children. Traditional methods of diagnosing iron-deficiency anemia generally require extensive and costly laboratory procedures. This study explores the feasibility of using portable Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) technology for assessing iron concentration in whole blood samples from donors diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia. The results indicated a marked decrease in iron levels in the blood samples from patients with anemia compared to the control group. The EDXRF technique demonstrated several advantages, including simplicity in sample collection, rapid measurement time, and low cost. This method is particularly promising for use in situations where biological material is limited, such as in pediatric practices for newborns. The study concludes that portable EDXRF technology is an effective and efficient tool for diagnosing iron deficiency anemia, potentially improving diagnostic accessibility and outcomes.
