Insulin sensitivity and liver fat: role of iron load.
CONTEXT Increased liver fat (LF) is associated with insulin resistance. However, a considerable individual variability between LF and insulin sensitivity (IS) is observed, and at equal levels of LF, insulin-resistant as well as insulin-sensitive individuals are found. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to study whether hepatic iron load (HIL) explains some of the variation between IS and LF. DESIG...
متن کاملEVALUATION OF PULMONARY IRON OVER LOAD IN PATIENTS WITH Β-THALASSEMIA MAJOR USING SPIROMETRY
Background & Aims: Spirometry changes in thalassemic patients can be obstructive or restrictive and pulmonary dysfunction depends on age and body iron overload. In this study the effectiveness of lung spirometry in detecting iron overload in patients with β-thalassemia was investigated. Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional (descriptive-analytic) study investigated the spirometry test resu...
متن کاملEvaluation of tissue doppler echocardiography and T2* magnetic resonance imaging in iron load of patients with thalassemia major
Background: Iron-mediated cardiomyopathy is the main complication of thalassemia major (TM) patients. Therefore, there is an important clinical need in the early diagnosis and risk stratification of patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of tissue doppler imaging (TDI) to study cardiac iron overload in patients with TM using T2* magnetic resonance (MR) as the gold-standard...
متن کاملHepatic Iron Load at Magnetic Resonance Imaging Is Normal in Most Patients Receiving Peritoneal Dialysis
To the Editor: Over the past 3 decades, the routine use of erythropoeisis-stimulating agents (ESA) has enabled the correction of anemia in most patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), reducing the need for blood transfusions and improving the quality of life of severely anemic patients. Almost all ESA-treated hemodialysis patients receive parenteral iron to ensure sufficient available iro...
متن کاملQuantitative Susceptibility Mapping Reveals an Association between Brain Iron Load and Depression Severity
Previous studies have detected abnormal serum ferritin levels in patients with depression; however, the results have been inconsistent. This study used quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) for the first time to examine brain iron concentration in depressed patients and evaluated whether it is related to severity. We included three groups of age- and gender-matched participants: 30 patients...
