The serum transferrin receptor (sTfR) is thought a sensitive and quantitative parameter of tissue iron deficiency as well as an indicator of erythropoietic activity. This study was aimed at the verification of a hypothesis that sTfR is a general indicator of erythropoiesis regardless whatever the cause is.
