Abstract
Die Erythrokinetic wurde bei 6 Patienten mit “anemia factitia” untersucht. Bei allen Patienten konnte sowohl Eisenmangel wie auch Blutverlust nach Selbstverletzung nachgewiesen werden. Außerdem wurde eine frühzeitige lineale Aufnahme der Erythrozyten und eine Verkürzung der Erythrozytenlebensdauer nachgewiesen. Es konnte eine Beziehung zwischen Dauer der Anämie und Schwere der Hämolyse festgestellt werden. The authors report on six cases of chronic iron deficiency anemia in which a diagnosis of factitious anemia was made. Erythrokinetic studies demonstrated iron deficiency and blood loss. Besides these features, two kinetic abnormalities are described: precocious splenic sequestration of red cells and excess hemolysis. This hemolytic syndrome seems to be correlated to the duration of anemia rather than to its severity.Keywords
