Abstract
Whole-blood caeruloplasmin measured by electron spin resonance was studied in 41 patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. The levels were above normal at all stages of the disease, rose with increasing clinical involvement, and were higher in progressive than inactive disease. Whole-blood iron transferrin levels were more variable, and were significantly raised only in patients with marrow failure.
