[Desferal test study of the iron reserves of the body in chronic digestive organ diseases].
In 73 patients suffering from diverse chronic affections of digestive organs the possibility of using desferal--a new complexion--for determining iron reserves in the organism was studied. The obtained data bear proof to the existence of a direct relationship between the renal excretion of iron following introduction of desferol, localization of the pathological process and the severity of the disease. The profoundest changes in the iron metabolism were noted in the organism of patients with an extensive resection of the small intestine in their past and in those with chronic enterocolities of the III degree of severity. Thus, desferal test may be recommended for studying iron reserves in the organism of patients with chronic affections of the digestive organs.
