Abstract

Absorption of 59Fe ferrous sulphate was measured in patients with a variety of iron-loading anæmias both before and during subcutaneous infusions of desferrioxamine. The infusions were associated with a reduction in absorption (P<0·025). This effect was not altered by saturation with ascorbic acid.
