Changes in serum ferritin levels after intravenous iron. 1981

R W Blunden, and J V Lloyd, and Z Rudzki, and R J Kimber

The effect of intravenous iron dextran on serum ferritin levels was observed in two patients with iron deficiency anaemia. Serum ferritin levels rose sharply and reached peak levels seven to nine days after infusion when at least 90% of the infused iron had been removed from the plasma. A linear relation was shown for each patient between the logarithm of the serum ferritin levels and the logarithm of the calculated cellular non-haem iron levels.

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.

D006454 Hemoglobins The oxygen-carrying proteins of ERYTHROCYTES. They are found in all vertebrates and some invertebrates. The number of globin subunits in the hemoglobin quaternary structure differs between species. Structures range from monomeric to a variety of multimeric arrangements.

D000747 Anemia, Hypochromic Anemia characterized by a decrease in the ratio of the weight of hemoglobin to the volume of the erythrocyte, i.e., the mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration is less than normal. The individual cells contain less hemoglobin than they could have under optimal conditions. Hypochromic anemia may be caused by iron deficiency from a low iron intake, diminished iron absorption, or excessive iron loss. It can also be caused by infections or other diseases, therapeutic drugs, lead poisoning, and other conditions.
