Foreword This book is based on papers presented by Dr. Wick and Prof. Pinggera during a Specialists' Conference sponsored by Boehringer Mannheim GmbH (Chairman: Prof. Wolfgang Vogt, Munich) in BemriediLake Stamberg in May 1990. It is a joint work by three authors. It seemed appropriate to divide the work, in view ofthe rapid development of clinical chemistry, together with the knowledge that medicine as a science is constantly in a state of flux and that it influences clinical practice. We have endeavored to describe clearly the relevance of the principal analytes of iron metabolism to early recognition, diagnosis, and the monitoring of therapy, as well as to provide useful bedside support for the doctor. The authors are grateful to Cheryl Byers of Boehringer Mannheim and to Thomas Schmuttermeier of Springer-Verlag for their committed cooperation and their expert support in the publication of this book. Doris Raab of Boehringer Mannheim has made a valuable contribution in preparing the diagrams.
