Abstract
The incorporation of [15N] glycine into early labelled bilirubin and haemoglobin haem was measured in four haematologically normal subjects, using the clearance of [14C] bilirubin to measure total bilirubin production rate. Hepatic haem turnover was calculated from the incorporation of [15N]=sigma-aminolaevulinic acid into early labelled bilirubin. From the exprimental data previously published data in normal subjects a method is derived for the quantitation of ineffective erythropoiesis which can be applied to similar studies in patients with haematological disorders.
