Levels of the peptide hormone hepcidin negatively correlate with systemic iron status and are increased in disorders in which iron metabolism is secondarily disregulated, such as the anemia of chronic disease. Consequently, the ability to measure hepcidin in the clinical setting may have diagnostic value for a broad range of indications. We describe a novel quantitative matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry assay for hepcidin in human urine whic ...[more]
