title: [Effects of blood transfusion on the serum assays of iron, the total binding capacity of transferrin, vitamin B12 and folates].
abstract: To evaluate the influence of blood transfusion on the serum levels of different nutrients, the levels of total iron binding capacity, ferritin, cobalamin and folate were determined before and 24 hours after 2 or 3 packed red cell transfusions, by forty patients with anemia of various causes. No significant change was found in these levels before and after blood transfusion, except for iron and folate.
