  Purpose

This is an observation study of subjects who previously had iron-55 isotope administered in studies of iron absorption. By determining the retention of the isotope in blood during a 3-year period, body iron excretion can be measured.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Rate of Iron Excretion. [ Time Frame: 4 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Iron excretion calculated as body Fe (mg) times turnover rate estimated from blood activity of Fe55


Enrollment: 77
Study Start Date: September 1998
