Iron status markers in hereditary haemochromatosis: distinction between individuals being homozygous and heterozygous for the haemochromatosis allele.

European journal of haematology - 1 Oct 1991

Milman N

Abstract excerpt

Iron status markers, serum iron, serum transferrin, transferrin saturation and serum ferritin were analysed in 162 homozygous patients with clinical haemochromatosis, in 12 homozygous relatives with preclinical haemochromatosis, in 84 heterozygous, and in 9 normal subjects. In the distinction between homozygous patients with clinical haemochromatosis and heterozygotes, transferrin saturation and serum ferritin...
