Increased Hepatic Iron Content Predicts Poor Survival in Patients With Iron Overload Who Underwent Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Conclusion Hepatic iron content might be associated with poorer prognosis in patients with iron overload that underwent alloHSCT. Micro-Abstract Transfusional iron overload remains a serious problem in alloHSCT setting. Liver is among the most common organs that iron accumulate. The degree of hepatic iron content might be associated with poorer survival in alloHSCT recipients.
