  Objectives: Evaluation of serum Ferritin levels and RBC'S parameters among children with ADHD and LD children, using ferritin levels and RBC’S parameters in order to accept or reject the hypothesis of multifaceted nature of ADHD and LD. Methodology: A sample of 40 children with ADHD and 40 cases with LD (case group) and 40 control children are subjected to assessment of serum Ferritin and RBC's parameters. Results: Mean Serum ferritin level among ADHD and LD group were significantly different the mean value among the control group. CBC parameters among ADHD group and LD group (haemoglobin level, RBCs count, MCV and MCH) were significantly different from CBC parameters among the control group. Conclusions: Serum ferritin and RBC's parameters were significantly lower in AD.. Read More»
