Relation of Pancreatic Iron Overload Detected By MRI with Disorders of Glucose Metabolism and Results of Liver, Cardiac and Pitutiary MRI Among Transfusion Dependent Thalassemia (TDT) Patients in Turkey
Abstract:The relationship between pancreatic iron overload and glucose dysregulation has not been well defined and need further investigation. Pancreas iron load measurements are also necessary to understand how hepatic, pancreatic, and cardiac iron burden prospectively modulate the evolution of diabetes in transfusion dependent thalassemia (TDT).
Aim: This study aims to evaluate the presence of pancreatic iron overload among TDT patients in Turkey based on the MRI R2* and T2* results as well as to deter… Show more
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.
