It is well known that macrophages are the principle cells responsible for removal of senescent erythrocytes from circulation and are the major storage cell for body iron. Monitoring stored iron in patients with anemia secondary to renal failure and chronic hemodialysis is an important parameter used for gauging supplementing these patients with iron. We have proven that blood monocyte ferritin unlike serum ferritin reflects adequately bone marrow iron stores and thus replaces an undesirable procedure in such patients namely bone marrow punctures.

D009000 Monocytes Large, phagocytic mononuclear leukocytes produced in the vertebrate BONE MARROW and released into the BLOOD; contain a large, oval or somewhat indented nucleus surrounded by voluminous cytoplasm and numerous organelles. Monocyte
D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.

D005293 Ferritins Iron-containing proteins that are widely distributed in animals, plants, and microorganisms. Their major function is to store IRON in a nontoxic bioavailable form. Each ferritin molecule consists of ferric iron in a hollow protein shell (APOFERRITINS) made of 24 subunits of various sequences depending on the species and tissue types.
