Abstract
Low biological variation renders Hb level, Hct, and reticulocyte Hb content, but not TSAT and ferritin level, suitable for trend analysis using results from 2 successive samples. TSAT and ferritin test results, unlike reticulocyte Hb content, have limited value in evaluating changes in iron status within individual hemodialysis patients.
