Abstract

A major side effect of the hypertransfusion treatment for Thalassemia major is accumulation of iron in body tissues, and the primary cause of death for these patients is iron deposition in the heart. This study will evaluate whether intravenous high-dose deferoximine over prolonged exposure time can increase the urinary iron excretion, resulting in the lowering of serum ferritin levels in these patients.
