Sudden increase in Sr Ferritin

<< < (2/2)

Dharmesh:
Hi,
Put ur son on split dosage of desirox half in the morning and half in the eve.
Ferritin always stays stable on a level for long time (but it do not indicate iron level) then it goes up. Then again stays stable on a certain level and increase (If it is having increasing trend) and vice versa.

After reaching 10 ur son can go for T2*MRI for cardiac and liver iron overload assessement.

PS Pancreas iron assessement has been added at mumbai center in India.
