Table 3. Hematological data of the cataract patients investigated

Shown here are the serum iron, total iron binding capacity, transferrin saturation, and serum ferritin levels in patients with congenital cataract. Very high levels of serum ferritin (1638.7 and 2283.1 μg/l) were observed in patients as compared to the reference range.
