Evaluation of the Siderohaemic Curve after Loading Administration of Iron – Protein – Succinylate to Gastrectomized Subjects: A Controlled Study

Abstract

The absorption of iron after oral administration of 80 mg iron – protein – succinylate complex was evaluated by determining serum iron concentrations in 10 patients who had undergone total gastrectomy more than. 1 year before and were suffering from hypochromic anaemia. Serum iron concentrations in these patients were no different from those obtained in 10 ‘normal’ hypochromic anaemic patients.
