Observational Monitoring of Patients with Aplastic Anemia and Low/Intermediate-1 Risk of Myelodysplastic Syndromes Complicated with Iron Overload.

CONCLUSION: The transfusion amount was more reliable at predicting IOL in patients with AA than in those with MDS. Adequate iron chelation can decrease serum ferritin levels and may improve hepatic T2*, cardiac T2*, and LVEF levels. A decrease in serum ferritin, even in the absence of chelation, may also benefit patients. PMID: 28866669 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
