There was a highly significant difference in the ferritin level after treatment between the two groups, with iron reserves restored only in the IVIS group, which has also been observed by Bayoumeu et al .( 3 ) Increase in ferritin is not because of direct intravenous injection of iron complex; rather, it is because the IVIS complex releases iron rapidly to endogenous iron binding proteins with no deposition in the parenchymal tissue.
