[Fetal hemoglobin in various pathological conditions in adults]

Fetal haemoglobin concentration was determined in the blood of 122 adult patients. Raised level of this haemoglobin was found in cases of anaemia during chronic renal failure and in certain cases of malignant neoplasms. Besides that, fetal haemoglobin level was determined in anaemia associated with other diseases (liver failure, hyperthyroidism, myasthenia gravis). The obtained results are discussed.
