  • Title: Variation of serum ferritin in low birth weight infants with maternal ferritin, birth weight and gestational age.
    Author: Jansson L, Holmberg L, Ekman R.
    Journal: Acta Haematol; 1979; 62(5-6):273-7. PubMed ID: 121669.
    Abstract:
    Serum ferritin measured at birth in 69 low birth weight infants proved to vary with gestational age as well as with weight. The increase with gestational age was even more striking when the infants small for gestational age were excluded. The relation between maternal and infant serum ferritin concentration was investigated for 2 groups of infants and their mothers (*preterm and term infants, respectively). Neither in preterm nor in term infants was the serum ferritin found to vary with that in the respective mothers.
