  • Title: [Iron chelate treatment of hereditary sideroblastic anemia complicated by hemochromatosis].
    Author: Kremp L, Girot R, Alliot S, Najean Y, Douchain F, Hongre JF.
    Journal: Arch Fr Pediatr; 1983; 40(6):475-7. PubMed ID: 6625846.
    Abstract:
    In a child with sideroblastic anemia complicated with hemochromatosis, iron overload was successfully treated with slow subcutaneous perfusion of deferoxamine. A 28 month-treatment resulted in the inversion of iron balance, which became negative, and the normalization of serum ferritin and abdominal CT scan. These results indicate that deferoxamine perfusion 12/24 hrs is able to restrict or even to remove the iron overload, previously responsible for hemochromatosis, a factor of mortality in this disease.
