title: [Serum ferritin and iron therapy in childhood. Experiences with iron resin adsorbate (author's transl)].
abstract: In 40 children with iron deficiency anemia and in 15 children with iron deficiency without anemia the diagnosis is made by hemoglobin, red cell count, hematocrit, MCH, serum iron, iron binding capacity, iron saturation and serum ferritin. For treatment an iron resin adsorbate, given one time daily, was used. The average daily increase of hemoglobin in the time of five weeks is 0,71 g/l by an initial value of 91 g/l. In a child with severe anemia (54 g/l) the daily increase was 2,57 g/l Hemoglobin. Serum ferritin increased in 12 weeks from 13 to 51 microgram/l, this normal value shows the filling of the iron reserves.
