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. |
