Abstract

Erythrocyte and serum ferritin was determined in 36 patients with different pictures of diseases and under bleeding therapy in idiopathic haemochromatosis (IH). With latent iron deficiency there was no significant difference in the ferritin content of erythrocytes in comparison with the control group. The intraerythrocyte ferritin content in idiopathic haemochromatosis is always increased and will normalize under bleeding therapy as well serum ferritin. After disrupting the therapy the ferritin content in erythrocytes will more rapidly increase again than in the serum. Increased erythrocyte ferritin could be identified in patients with anaemia due to ineffective erythropoiesis.

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.
