Normal values were as follows: total bilirubin level, 0.2–1 mg/dL; TF saturation, <45%; ferritin level, <300 mg/L; LIC SQUID, <400 μg/g tissue wet/weight; and urinary iron level, <3 mg/L.
Hb indicates hemoglobin; MCV, mean corpuscular volume; MCH, mean corpuscular hemoglobin; WBC, white blood cell; TF, transferrin; LIC, liver iron concentration expressed in μg/g tissue wet/weight; SQUID, superconductum quantum interference device; DFO, subcutaneous deferoxamine; and —, not performed.
Patient under transfusion regimen.
