Cholelithiasis in Thalassemia Major

Radiology, 1970
Abstract In a study of patients with thalassemia major by oral cholecystography, the incidence of cholelithiasis is determined. Six of 26 patients aged ten years and older have biliary calculi; in addition, gallstones have been demonstrated during life or at autopsy in 7 of 35 who have died. The association of gallstones with thalassemia, less frequent

Cardiovascular MRI in thalassemia major

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2010
MRI assessment of myocardial iron and function has revolutionized the treatment of thalassemia major patients. While knowledge of somatic iron stores is vital for iron chelation management, it does not adequately monitor cardiac risk. MRI monitoring of cardiac T2* allows preclinical recognition of myocardial iron, stratifies prospective cardiac risk ...

[Osteodystrophy in thalassemia major].

Annali italiani di medicina interna : organo ufficiale della Societa italiana di medicina interna, 1993
Subjects with thalassemia major frequently have bone disorders of debatable pathogenesis. We attempt here to analyze the relationships between siderosis and thalassemic osteodystrophy by assessing calcium-phosphorus balance, hormone-vitamin homeostasis, osteoblastic-osteoclastic activity parameters, and bone mineral density (BMD) in 30 patients with ...
