| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
During the acute phase of infectious disease with severe inflammation, iron levels were immediately decreased along with enhanced production of hepcidin. Additionally, each behavior of hepcidin and lipocalin 2 may suggest a different role during the acute phase of infection. Understanding of iron metabolism is expected to be applied in diagnosis and treatment

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
感染症の急性期には鉄およびその調節因子であるヘプシジンはダイナミックな変動を示すことが明らかとなり、診断および治療の面から、魅力的な対象と考えられた。この領域に関するさらなる解明が進み、血流感染症、ひいては敗血症における新たな診断、治療の選択肢が得られることを期待したい。
