The chelating agent diethylenetriamine penta-acetic acid was used to measure iron stores in 83 patients with chronic liver disease. Iron chelation was normal in patients with chronic cholestasis. Chelation was increased above the control range in 14 out of 26 patients with alcoholic cirrhosis, in nine out of 28 patients with non-alcoholic cirrhosis, and in 11 out of 15 cirrhotics with a portaca...
