  • Title: [Anemia in terminal kidney insufficiency: ferrokinetics, erythrocyte survival times and erythrocyte enzymes in chronic dialysis patients].
    Author: Junkers K, Jontofsohn R, Meuret G, Blume KG, Heinze V.
    Journal: Nucl Med (Stuttg); 1975 Dec 15; 14(4):355-64. PubMed ID: 1215213.
    Abstract:
    Radio-iron utilization was nearly normal in these patients, only bilateral nephrectomized patients showed a reduced radio-iron utilization. Red blood half-life span was shortened in all patients, well corresponding to the degree of anemia. Parameters of erythropoesis like plasma iron clearance, bone marrow transit time, erythron iron turnover, non erythron iron turnover and hemolysis iron turnover failed to quantitate disorders of red blood cell regeneration in these patients. No defect in red blood cell enzyme activity could be demonstrated. Enzymes of glycolysis were increased corresponding to the reduced erythrocyte half-life span.
