Abstract

A comparison of the Hb A₂ concentration in 100 patients with iron deficiency anemia and 100 healthy adults shows a significant decrease in cases with iron deficiency (p = < 0.05). The mean value was 1.8% for the iron deficient patients and 2.3% for controls. The 2s range was found to be 1.1–2.4% and 1.7–2.9% respectively. No correlation between the amount of Hb A₂ decrease and the degree of anemia and hypochromia could be demonstrated
