Alternative strategies for ICT when MRI technology is not available in NTDT
| Serum ferritin . | Strategy . |
|---|---|
| SF ≤300 ng/mL | None |
| SF 300-800 ng/mL | None, or use other measures indicative of iron overload state, or try to obtain MRI |
| SF >800 ng/mL | Initiate ICT with DFX |
| Serum ferritin . | Strategy . |
|---|---|
| SF ≤300 ng/mL | None |
| SF 300-800 ng/mL | None, or use other measures indicative of iron overload state, or try to obtain MRI |

DFX, deferasirox; ICT, iron chelation therapy; SF, serum ferritin.
