Anti-HCV antibody presence in hemodialyzed patients: assessment after one year regarding some preventive measures chosen.

abstract：:The diagnostic usefulness of bone marrow hemosiderin, serum ferritin, transferrin saturation, mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and red cell protoporphyrin (EPP) in the evaluation of iron status in patients on chronic hemodialysis was studied in 39 subjects. The correlation between serum ferritin and the number of transfu...
