title: [Acute phase factors in anemia].
abstract: In various anaemias the values of 8 acute phase factors were determined simultaneously before and at the end of treatment: seromucoid, sialic acid, acid alpha 1-glycoprotein, alpha 1-antitrypsin, haptoglobin, ceruloplasmin, transferrin and fibrinogen. In iron-deficiency anaemia without coexistent inflammatory changes in organs the levels of 4 proteins--seromucoid, alpha 1-antitrypsin, ceruloplasmin and transferrin, were consistently raised. In iron-deficiency anemia with concomitant infection 4 proteins also were increased, but in place of alpha 1-antitrypsin the haptoglobin level was raised. In megaloblastic anaemia the ceruloplasmin level was increased, and in haemolytic anaemia one factor--sialic acid--was decreased. At the end of treatment the concentrations of certain proteins were changed depending on their specific role in various forms of anaemia and on various additional factors. In iron-deficiency anaemia without coexistent infection the concentration of seromucoid was decreased, and in this anaemia with coexistent infection alpha 1-antitrypsin, haptoglobin, and fibrinogen levels were raised, in haemolytic anaemia only fibrinogen was increased, and megaloblastic anaemia was associated with raised seromucoid level. The therapeutic result was good in all these anaemias with the exception of iron-deficiency anaemia associated with infection in which it was less propitious.
