3.135 Iron Deficiency? Iron is essential to most life forms and to normal human physiology. It is an integral part of many proteins and enzymes that maintain good health. Recommendations for iron are provided in Dietary Reference Intakes, developed by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences. The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of iron for adult females under the age of 51 is 18 milligrams (mg) per day. The iron intakes during a 24-hour period for a random sample of 45 adult females under the age of 51 have a

- The following are the cystatin C levels (mg/L) for the patients described in Exercise 15 (A-17).Cystatin C is a cationic basic protein that was investigated for its relationship to GFR levels. Inaddition, creatinine levels are also given.
