The measurement of 59Fe clearance from the plasma

  • 1. Welsh National School of Medicine, Cardiff (UK)

Description

The measurement of 59Fe clearance from the plasma is a well established means of investigating erythropoiesis. The effect of variation in plasma iron concentration, contamination by 59FE not bound to transferrin and 59Fe counting accuracy on the 59Fe clearance curve are described. A valid analysis of the clearance curve cannot be made unless these errors are eliminated. A technique is presented which allows the clearance of [59Fe] transferrin to be studied free of extraneous influences. (author)
