title: A comparison between serum ferritin concentration and the amount of bone marrow stainable iron.
abstract: There was good parallelism between serum ferritin levels and the amount of bone marrow stainable iron in 123 patients with gastritis, gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer. A serum ferritin concentration of about 20-25 micrograms/l is the approximate level below which stainable iron cannot be demonstrated in the bone marrow.
