title: [Iron metabolism in patients with portal hypertension].
abstract: Ninety-four patients with portal hypertension (48 with cirrhosis of the liver and 46 with pathological changes of the portal vein trunk) were examined. The main parameters of iron metabolism were determined by the radioimmunoassay and the iron deports in the liver and spleen biopsy material were revealed. Tissue iron deficiency was found in all patients. The results of the tests were marked by essential peculiarities. In sharp reduction of the level of serum iron and ferritin the parameters of total and latent iron-binding capacity were decreased.
