Serum ferritin concentration in untreated Hodgkin's disease. 1976

A Jacobs, and A Slater, and J A Whittaker, and G Canellos, and P H Wiernik

Serum ferritin has been estimated in 125 untreated patients with Hodgkin's disease. Increasing concentrations are found at each advancing stage of the disease and high concentrations are found in patients with systemic symptoms. In all cases this is associated with a low serum Fe concentration and reduced transferrin saturation. There is no relationship between serum ferritin concentration and histological type of disease. The findings are compatible with a non-specific response of the reticuloendothelial system to malignancy, producing a secondary disorder of Fe metabolism.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007501 Iron A metallic element with atomic symbol Fe, atomic number 26, and atomic weight 55.85. It is an essential constituent of HEMOGLOBINS; CYTOCHROMES; and IRON-BINDING PROTEINS. It plays a role in cellular redox reactions and in the transport of OXYGEN. Iron-56,Iron 56
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. Basic Isoferritin,Ferritin,Isoferritin,Isoferritin, Basic
D006689 Hodgkin Disease A malignant disease characterized by progressive enlargement of the lymph nodes, spleen, and general lymphoid tissue. In the classical variant, giant usually multinucleate Hodgkin's and REED-STERNBERG CELLS are present; in the nodular lymphocyte predominant variant, lymphocytic and histiocytic cells are seen.

D014168 Transferrin An iron-binding beta1-globulin that is synthesized in the LIVER and secreted into the blood. It plays a central role in the transport of IRON throughout the circulation. A variety of transferrin isoforms exist in humans, including some that are considered markers for specific disease states.
