Radioactive iron kinetics in blood donors

Blut Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

In 15 blood and plasma donors kinetics of radioactive iron was determined.

Decreased body iron content was found in most [11] subjects, in two of them it was associated with reduction in the mean survival time of erythrocytes. Iron deficiency was greatest in the group of donors with a history of multiple blood donations during many years.

Anaemia was not found in any case and 24-hour synthesis of haemoglobin was normal in all donors; in 3 cases it was even raised.

Zusammenfassung

Bei 15 Blut- und Plasmaspendern wurde die Kinetik des radioaktiven Eisens bestimmt. Bei den meisten Spendern [11] wurde eine Abnahme des Körpereisengehaltes festgestellt, in 2 Fällen war die Verminderung des Körpereisengehaltes mit einer Reduktion der mittleren Überlebenszeit der Erythrozyten verknüpft. Der Eisenmangel war bei der Gruppe am größten, die über viele Jahre Blut gespendet hatte. Anämie wurde in keinem Fall festgestellt. Die 24-Stunden-Synthese des Hämoglobins war bei allen Spendern normal, in 3 Fällen sogar erhöht.
