Abstract

Objectives: Studies on experimental animals have shown that elevated oxidative stress in erythrocytes leads to the formation of autoantibodies against carbonic anhydrase (CA) and anemia. This study investigated the presence of CA I and II autoantibodies in patients with iron deficiency anemia (IDA).
