Iron overload in mild sideroblastic anaemias

Iron overload in mild sideroblastic anaemias

T E Peto et al. Lancet. .

Abstract

Life-threatening iron overload may occur without severe anaemia in patients with sideroblastic disorders. Assessment of erythroid expansion in bone-marrow aspirates may be as useful as ferrokinetic studies in predicting both the risk of iron loading and the need for prophylactic phlebotomy or iron-chelation therapy.
