Ferrokinetics Studies in Patients with Geophagia, Growth Petardation, Hypogonadism, Hepatosplenomegaly Iron Deficiency Anemia and Zinc DeficiencyA. Arcasoy1, M. Telatar2, A. O. Çavdar1, N.

Ferrokinetic investigations were performed in ten patients with prolonged Geophagia. Plasma Iron Clearance (T 1/2) was increased. Plasma Iron Transport Rate (PIT) was decreased in five; Red Cell Iron Utilization (RCU %) was decreased in six, normal in three; Erythrocyte Iron Turnover Rate (EIT) was found to be decreased in five, normal in one and increased in three cases. Erythrocyte Survival Rate (RCS) was found to be shortened in all cases except one. A. Arcasoy, M. Telatar, A. O. Çavdar, N. Akar.
