Renal iron deposition by magnetic resonance imaging in pediatric β-thalassemia major patients: relation to renal biomarkers, total body iron and chelation therapy.

Conclusion kidney iron deposition impairs renal glomerular and tubular functions in pediatric patients with β-TM and is related to hemolysis, total body iron overload and poor compliance to chelation.
