The findings of iron deposition in affected microvasculature lend support to the potential role of iron in the complex pathophysiologic cascade of CUA. The implications for iron therapy in high-risk patients and the possible rationale for the use of sodium thiosulphate, a metal chelator, in the treatment of CUA are explored.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
