Popis: In refractory anemia (RA) and refractory anemia with ringed sideroblasts (RARS) a discrepancy is observed between the decreased in vitro erythroid colony formation and the normal or increased number of normoblasts in the bone marrow. To study the in vivo and in vitro erythropoiesis in more detail erythron transferrin uptake (ETU), soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) and erythroid in vitro colony formation were performed in 24 patients with BA and five patients with RARS. These results were correlated with bone marrow morphology and transfusion dependency. Increased (mean, 124.9; range, 74-225 mu mol/l blood/day) and normal (mean, 60.6; range, 50-71) ETU values were observed in 51% and 28% of the cases, whereas 21% of the cases demonstrated a diminished ETU value (mean, 35.8; range, 28-46), which correlated significantly with sTfR in cases with RE (P
