Severe Liver Iron Concentrations (LIC) in 24 Patients with β-Thalassemia Major: Correlations with Serum Ferritin, Liver Enzymes and Endocrine Complications
INTRODUCTION: Chronic blood transfusion is the mainstay of care for individuals with β-thalassemia major (BTM). However, it causes iron-overload that requires monitoring and management by long-term iron chelation therapy to prevent endocrinopathies and cardiomyopathies, which can be fatal. Hepatic R...
