Ferritin in bone marrow and serum in iron deficiency and iron overload

J Oertel et al. Blut. .

Abstract

Nonheme iron and ferritin in the bone marrow and serum ferritin was investigated in patients with iron deficiency anaemia or iron overload. As controls served patients without any disturbance of the iron metabolism. There is a precise correlation between the nonheme iron and ferritin in the bone marrow of patients with and without disturbance of iron metabolism. A correlation was also found between the ferritin in the bone marrow and the serum. Nonheme iron and ferritin in the bone marrow and serum ferritin was decreased in patients with iron deficiency anaemia. Conversely, the same parameters were increased in patients with iron overload.
