ABSTRACT
The sample for examination included 52 patients with chronic cardiac failure and 26 patients with anemia amongst. The expected increase of production of prohepsidin against the background of increased serum concentrations of anti-inflammatory cytokines was not detected. The tendency to decrease level of prohepsidin alongside with decrease of content of serum iron and ferritin in blood serum testified depletion of iron resources in organism.
