Efficacy of hepatic T2* MRI values and serum ferritin concentration in predicting thalassemia major classification for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

Abstract: Liver biopsy has been performed for many decades for classifying the patients with TM. Meanwhile, using non-invasive methods such as T2* MRI technique has been recently much more considered to determine the hepatic iron overload. Ninety-three pediatric HSCT candidates with TM who underwent liver biopsy were included in this study. Hepatic T2* MRI values and serum ferritin concentrations were assessed to investigate and determine the useful method in detection of patients with TM class III whom received differe… Show more

“…Outcomes of HCT for β-thalassemia generally report on survival. However, late follow-up and long-term effects after HCT are scarce and limited to single centers and focused organs [15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. This international report on long-term followup after HCT for β-thalassemia was undertaken to evaluate late follow-up efforts and outcomes in patients surviving beyond 1-year post-HCT and compiles data obtained from 7 contributing centers.…”

“…Liver biopsy is the gold standard; however, it carries the risks of the invasive procedure. Transient elastography (FibroScan) and T2 MRI have been shown to be reliable noninvasive methods to predict liver fibrosis secondary to iron overload, for TM patients who are candidates to HSCT (Hamidieh et al 2014;Hamidieh et al 2015).…”

“…Huaqiao elaborated in the article that it will enter a recovery period after the exercise is stopped, and the serum ferritin concentration will return to the original level after a period of time, and pointed out the change rule of serum protein concentration during recovery [7]. Hamidieh pointed out that some anemia caused by exercise is mainly caused by the disturbance of ferritin metabolism, which makes it difficult for the continuous production of red blood cells, and analyzes the concurrent principle of anemia, which has important guiding significance for the treatment of anemia [8].…”
