“…Radiologists and nephrologists should realize that there are marked differences in the pharmacokinetics of IV iron products, and that these can interfere with MRI (tables II and III) [57]. The required time interval between the last IV iron infusion and MRI should range from one week (iron sucrose, iron gluconate, iron carboxymaltose) to one month (low-molecularweight iron dextran and iron isomaltoside), 3 months (highmolecular-weight iron dextran) or even 6 months (ferumoxytol) if spurious results due to magnetic interference are to be avoided ( Iron overload in dialysis patients in the ESA era Studies using superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) thirteen years ago [11] and more recent studies employing quantitative MRI [8,59,60] to estimate LIC in hemodialysis patients, have provided new information on iron metabolism in ESRD and have underlined the risk of hemosiderosis. These studies also strongly suggest a link between the IV iron dose and the risk of iron overload in this setting, challenging current guidelines with respect to the influence on LIC of IV iron products at high repeated doses [4,8,17,18,59,60], as well as the reliability of iron biomarker cutoffs, and methods for monitoring iron stores in dialysis patients [8,9,15,16].…”
