BIOLOGICAL VARIATION OF PLASMA FERRITIN IN HEALTHY ADULT MALES IN SOUTH INDIAN POPULATION - A SAMPLE STUDY
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical Biochemistry - Year 2006, Vol 21, Issue 1
Abstract
A sample study of biological variation of plasma ferritin in healthy adult males 19-25 years of age (n = 6) in the Indian population was determined. Venous blood was collected on 3 non-consecutive days during a 3 week period. Plasma ferritin was measured using enzyme linked immunoassay in an automated immunoassay system. Analytical and Biological variation was calculated. We found a mean biological variation of 21.64%. Thus, our results indicate that biological variation contributed most to the intraindividual variation.
