[Serum ferritin and its diagnostic significance in iron metabolism disorders].
Aim of the study was the evaluation of the diagnostic value of the parameters of iron metabolism in normal adults and also in patients suffering from uncomplicated iron deficiency, iron overload due to repeated blood transfusions, malignant lymphoma and Crohn's disease. In these patients, the determination of serum ferritin increased the diagnostic efficiency only in poly-transfused patients with iron overload.
