title: Iron absorption in iron-loading anaemias: Effect of subcutaneous desferrioxamine infusions.
abstract: Absorption of 59Fe ferrous sulphate was measured in patients with a variety of iron-loading anaemias both before and during subcutaneous infusions of desferrioxamine. The infusions were associated with a reduction in absorption (P less than 0-025). This effect was not altered by saturation with ascorbic acid.
