iron deficiency

  • The following would be a nice little research project: Given the possible relationship between beeturia and iron affinity, can beeturia be used as a screening test for hemochromatosis? It is interesting that the prevalence of beeturia matches the carrier frequency of the hemochromatosis gene. [107]
