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.
