Comparison of Serum Iron and Total Iron Binding Capacity Between Hemo and Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

Tri this study. 20 patients were selected having renal failure .10 patients were hemo 10 peritoneal dialysis procedure. Patients had been given r HuEPO subcutaneous with supplement of Iron dextran after dialysis .Hemoglobin lib concentration I lematocrit(Hct),scrum Iron .total Iron binding capacity, transferrin saturation percent Ts% Serum ferritin were measured. Non significant changes in hemoglobin, hematocrit, serum Iron ,total Iron binding capacity ,transferrin saturation but a significant difference in serum ferritin was found ,rhis was ascribed to : 1- The blood lost in the peritoneal or hemodialysis for access. 2- Some patients had been given blood to treat anemia or given Iron supplements which leads to Iron overload.
