Iron overload across the spectrum of non-transfusion-dependent thalassaemias: role of erythropoiesis, splenectomy and transfusions [PDF]
Non-transfusion-dependent thalassaemias (NTDT) encompass a spectrum of anaemias rarely requiring blood transfusions. Increased iron absorption, driven by hepcidin suppression secondary to erythron expansion, initially causes intrahepatic iron overload ...

Evaluation of Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Deferasirox in Pediatric Patients [PDF]
Background: Deferasirox (DFX) is commonly used to reduce the chronic iron overload (IO) in pediatric patients. However, the drug is characterized by a large pharmacokinetic variability and approximately 10% of patients may discontinue the treatment due to toxicities.

Deferasirox, an oral chelator in the treatment of iron overload
BACKGROUND Deferasirox is a once-daily oral iron chelator developed for treating iron overload complicating long-term transfusion therapy in patients with diseases such as beta-thalassemia and myelodysplastic syndromes. Iron overload can damage the liver,

Deferasirox-induced cytogenetic responses
Deferasirox (commercially formulated as Exjade(®)) is one of the effective iron chelators used in treatment of iron overload diseases. In this study the effect of this substance for chromosome aberration, sister chromatid exchange and mitotic index was studied by in vitro (by using human peripheral lymphocytes) and in vivo (by using rat) analysis ...

Residual erythropoiesis protects against myocardial hemosiderosis in transfusion-dependent thalassemia by lowering labile plasma iron via transient generation of apotransferrin [PDF]
Cardiosiderosis is a leading cause of mortality in transfusion-dependent thalassemias. Plasma non-transferrin-bound iron and its redox-active component, labile plasma iron, are key sources of iron loading in cardiosiderosis.
