Suppression of Erythropoiesis by Alcohol

D O'B Hourihane, D G Weir
PMCID: PMC1699174  PMID: 5411451

Abstract

Serial measurements in alcoholic subjects showed a profound fall of serum iron for three days after withdrawal of alcohol and a reversion of abnormal accumulation of erythroblastic haemosiderin to normal. These findings suggest an interference in normal haem synthesis, most probably by a direct effect.
