The iron level does come down quickly with IV desferal. One of our members ( Life is beautiful ) had experienced a drop from 4000 to 2000 in just three months. His daughter was given 60 hours IV desferal every time she was booked for transfusion. Aysams ALT is very high and I am surprised he is on a high dose of 625mg. What is his weight? Wishing the best for your little boy

take care

Aysam is getting nearly 40mg/kg of Exjade. Usually when the ALT rises the dose of exjade is either reduced or temporarily discontinued till the ALT comes down.There is almost a month before you leave and Aysam will have a transfusion during this time. I feel it would be good for Aysam if IV desferal could be arranged continuously for three days. You could discuss this with your doctor.

Little Z was asked to discontinue Asunra for a week when her ALT reached 231, and she was on the 30mg/kg dose. Aysams ALT is over 600 shouldn`t he be discontinuing Exjade altogether for a while.
