title: [Reference values of erythrocyte ferritin in children and adults].
abstract: The erythrocyte ferritin content was measured in 183 healthy subjects in age from 4 to 68 years; 80 were male and 103 were female. In children between the ages of 4 and 12 years there is no significant difference in the mean value between boys and girls. In females the erythrocyte ferritin concentration is independent of age. After 12 years of age the erythrocyte ferritin content is higher in men. Reference intervals were determined by the two quantiles 0.05 and 0.95. The reference interval is 3-24 age by cell in boys between 4 and 12 and females between 4 and 63; the reference interval is 5-38 age by cell in males between 13 and 68 years of age.
