Serum ferritin and dysbaric osteonecrosis
Abstract
Bone and marrow necrosis has been produced in rabbits. Changes in serum ferritin levels have been measured (with appropriate controls). Results suggest that marrow death is followed by a significant rise in serum ferritin levels. The possiblitiy that this may be of value in the early diagnosis of dysbaric osteonecrosis is discussed.
