Hemochromatosis and pyruvate kinase deficiency. Report of a case and review of the literature

M De Braekeleer et al. Ann Hematol. 1991 May.

Abstract

Hemochromatosis has been reported in several patients with chronic hemolytic anemia due to pyruvate kinase deficiency. We describe here a further patient with such an association and review the literature on the subject. We hypothesize that iron overload may occur in patients with pyruvate kinase deficiency who are also carriers of the hereditary hemochromatosis gene.
