This is the primary regulator of iron homeostasis, released by the liver during inflammation to promote iron storage.
What is Hepcidin?
300
The primary route of infection is the inhalation of organisms/their fragments found in soil or decaying organic matter, typically in the central and southern U.S.
What is Blastomycosis

Short stature, hearing loss, dentine abnormalities, scoliosis, facial dysmorphism, joint hypermobility, cod-fish vertebrae.
What are features of Osteogenesis Imperfecta?
500
This biomarker is considered an effective tool for diagnosing ID in an "inflamed state" when ferritin may be falsely elevated.
