I am sorry Mariam that he is not replying but i hope he will soon. I know how frustrating this is :mad.
Yesterday, i saw my hematologist and i told her about Aysam's iron levels and she also advised the IV desferal and added that it will cause a significant decrease in his ferritin.

But again, you can not do this in Australia as you will need a prescription  :mad

Mariam the IV desferal is considered an aiding factor in order to see a quick drop of ferritin, but not a continous treatment and also don't forget that he has not reached his targeted dose of exjade yet which is the chelating dose. The doctor is Professor Amal El-Beshlawy Prof. of Pediatric Hematology Cairo University

Mariam, does Aysam's doctor refuse to give your son desferal?
I know how frustrating this is. I keep crossing my fingers for a good result!

Mariam,

I also agree that 24hr IV desferal may bring down our little Aysam's iron levels quickly.  Please see if your doctor agrees to do so.  My son used to have IV desferal with each transfusions when he was younger and he did well with it. 

Take care and please keep us posted,

Sharmin

Mariam,

Aysam is still not receiving adequate chelation and as long as he continues to get darker, you know he is not having enough iron removed. How much Exjade is he currently taking?
Andy

All we are saying is give thals a chance.

What Does Zinc Do for the Body?
By Kent Ninomiya, eHow Editor

Zinc is very important to the human body. It is an essential trace element that is vital for growth and development. Zinc is instrumental in immune response, brain function and the ability to reproduce. There is also conflicting data suggesting that zinc supplements might be able to reduce symptoms of the common cold.

Function
Zinc is essential for the proper function of cellular metabolism. About 100 enzymes rely on zinc to help them catalyze vital chemical reactions. Zinc protects cell membranes from oxidative damage and stabilizes the structure of cell proteins. Zinc proteins bind to DNA and help the genes tell cells what to do. This includes telling certain cells to die, which is important for growth, gestation and disease prevention. Zinc also helps control the release of hormones and the transmission of nerve impulses.

Benefits
People can benefit from eating zinc-rich foods. These include red meat, poultry, crab, lobster, nuts, beans, milk, yogurt, cheese, whole grain bread and fortified breakfast cereal. The food with the most zinc is oysters--a serving of 6 oysters has 76.7 mg of zinc. The tolerable upper intake level for an adult is 40 mg of zinc, so it is advisable to eat no more than 3 oysters per day.

it was the short introduction of Zinc, i hope that , i answered .. did I ???

Best Regards

Mariam,

IP6 is an antioxidant,i don't know if its available in Australia,Theodora will be able to help you in this aspect,or either you can buy them from www.puritan.com .They are in capsule form,you can open them and give the powder they contain to Aysam.

Zinc supplements are available in syrup and tabs both,ask your doctor to prescribe one for you.

What are Aysam's SGPT levels? According to his weight his dose of exjade should be 420 mg,but if SGPT levels are not going down,then you might have to weight a little bit.How frequently is he gettin g transfusions?

Zaini.
