Various studies of the role of achlorhydria in the absorption of iron have given conflicting
results. A comparison was therefore made of the absorption of a tracer dose of radioiron
(59Fe) taken along with a meal by two groups of female patients, one having histaminefast
achlorhydria, the other being able to secrete acid gastric juice. All patients had iron
deficiency, and none had steatorrhoea.
