Iron metabolism after renal transplantation.
1. The oral absorption and the rate of loss from the body of radioactive iron were measured by whole-body monitoring in patients with functioning renal homografts. The incorporation of radioactive iron into erythrocytes was also measured. 2. The results were compared with corresponding values in normal subjects and in non-dialysed and dialysed patients with chronic renal failure. 3. The mean or...
متن کاملTHE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ALUMINIUM TOXICITY AND IRON METABOLISM IN RATS
The relationship between aluminium toxicity and iron metabolism was studied. Male rats were exposed to aluminium by daily intraperitoneal injection of 40pmolelkg body weight. After 45 days, aluminium intoxified rats had a significant loweredserum ferritin (55%), iron (42%), TIBC (25%) and hemoglobin(31%). At thesame time the serum ceruloplasmin level was elevated by 60%. This result shows t...
متن کاملLiver transplantation normalizes serum hepcidin level and cures iron metabolism alterations in HFE hemochromatosis.
UNLABELLED Defects in human hemochromatosis protein (HFE) cause iron overload due to reduced hepatic hepcidin secretion. Liver transplantation (LT) is a key treatment for potential complications from HFE-related hereditary hemochromatosis (HH). This study evaluated hepcidin secretion and iron burden after LT to elucidate HH pathophysiology. Patients (n=18) homozygous for the p.Cys282Tyr mutatio...
متن کاملIron Metabolism in Pathogenic Trypanosomes
Trypanosomatids comprise a large group of flagellated unicellular protists with free-living and parasitic lifestyles. Several members of this family are widely known for being vertebrate pathogens of biomedical and veterinary importance. They belong to the order Kinetoplastida, which together with the groups Diplonemida (deep-see organisms) and Euglenida (photosynthetizing organisms) form the p...
متن کاملIron Metabolism in Experimental Anemia
In experimental anemia in dogs due to blood loss the term "available iron" as determined by the dipyridyl test has no physiological significance. Iron salts (100 per cent available by dipyridyl) given in optimum dose (560 mg. per 2 weeks) will cause a net production of 50 to 55 gm. hemoglobin above the control base line in anemic dogs. This means that an iron salt which is rated as 100 per cent...
