Values for serum ferritin, serum iron, and serum total-iron binding capacity were determined in 100 hospitalized horses. Six foals had iron deficiency, as indicated by low serum ferritin and iron concentrations. Twenty-eight horses had low serum iron content and normal or high serum ferritin content and were considered to have pseudo-iron deficiency, possibly in response to infection. Ten horses had serum ferritin concentrations that were quite high, probably indicating iron overload.
对100匹住院马匹测定了血清铁蛋白、血清铁和血清总铁结合力的值。6匹幼驹存在缺铁情况，表现为血清铁蛋白和铁浓度较低。28匹马血清铁含量低，血清铁蛋白含量正常或高，被认为患有假性缺铁，可能是对感染的反应。10匹马的血清铁蛋白浓度相当高，可能表明铁过载。
