Differential ferrioxamine test for measuring chelatable body iron

RESUMO
The differential ferrioxamine test is a simple method for the measurement of chelation of body iron by desferrioxamine. A single six-hour specimen of urine is obtained after intravenous Desferal, accompanied by 59Fe-ferrioxamine. Two values are measured: Fd, the excretion of ferrioxamine derived from body iron by chelation, and Fex, the proportion of ferrioxamine excreted from a known intravenous dose. The data enables Fv, chelation of iron in vivo, to be calculated by simple proportion. Desferrioxamine chelation proceeds for about half an hour after injection.
