(A) Relation of NTBI to transferrin saturation. (B) Dramatic increase in transferrin saturation as a surrogate for NTBI/LPI when erythropoiesis is stopped by pretransplant chemotherapy, with normalization coincident with engraftment. “MEL” is a mild regimen that recovers quickly, “Chemo” is an intense regimen that recovers late (from Sahlstedt et al12 and Sahlstedt et al,28 with permission).
