Abstract

The prevalence and clinical diagnosis of iron deficiency was studied in 55 long‐stay psychogeriatric patients. Iron deficiency was found in 29% of the sample and there was a trend for iron deficiency to be more common among patients with functional as opposed to organic psychiatric conditions. There were no clinical signs that could reliably detect iron deficiency and neither serum ferritin nor iron saturation studies detected more than 63% of iron‐deficient patients. The importance and cost of detecting iron deficiency is discussed together with the need for attention to patients' dietary intake and physical state.

A high prevalence of anti-Cl00-3 antibodies has been reported in chronic hemodialysis patients. It is, however, unclear whether the results reflect true hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in these patients, since false-positive results have been reported with this antibody assay.

Calcium (Ca) uptake was markedly increased in ATP-depleted red cells of patients with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) compared to ATP-depleted normal red cells. The extent of increased Ca uptake was related to the severity of iron deficiency as judged by decreased mean cell volume. Moreover, the increa
