متن کاملEffects of heavy alcohol consumption on serum ferritin concentrations.
Serum ferritin and hepatic enzyme concentrations were measured in 30 alcoholic subjects. Both the serum ferritin and gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) values were raised in 23 subjects and a significant correlation was noted between the two measurements (r = 0,51; P less than 0,01). There was, however, no correlation between the initial serum ferritin concentration and the serum alanine transa...
