title: [Effects of free blood histamine on gastric acid production in patients with certain forms of iron deficiency].
abstract: The author submits data on changes in the blood plasma content of free histamine (FH) in 35 patients with iron deficiency anemia (IDA). In 25 patients IDA developed in the wake of chronic blood losses in peptic ulcer (PU)--group I. There were 12 cases presenting with non-PU concurrent IDA. The control group was 11 essentially healthy persons the same age as case patients. FH was measured with the aid of the fluorometry technique. In group I patients augmentation in the blood plasma content of FH was common as was increase in the basal secretion of hydrochloric acid. Group II patients demonstrated elevation in the blood plasma content of FH and decline in the basal secretion of hydrochloric acid.
