Secondary haemochromatosis in a haemodialysis patient.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 39-year-old woman with end-stage renal disease, which was maintained on haemodialysis, developed secondary haemochromatosis after receiving blood transfusions and intravenous iron supplementation without sufficient serum ferritin concentration monitoring. The patient received intravenous deferoxamine three times a week, combined with high-dose recombinant human erythropoietin therapy and haemodialysis. After three months, improvements in biochemical indicators and iron overload were noted.

Haemochromatosis in end-stage renal disease: when waste is a treatment option
For patients with end-stage renal disease and hereditary haemochromatosis, prevention and treatment of anaemia differ from usual nephrologic guidelines. Monitoring of individual disease progression and ferritin levels is crucial. We describe a case of a young haemodialysis patient with early-stage organ dysfunction caused by hereditary haemochromatosis, in whom iron stores have successfully bee...

IT IS now over 30 years since Sheldon's classical monograph on haemochromatosis, but in spite of much intensive research, many aspects of this condition remain enigmatic. We have recently observed a case of haemochromatosis secondary to sideroblastic anaemia in which the appearance of the clinical signs of haemochromatosis were unusually rapid and paralleled by a dramatic and fatal deterioratio...
متن کاملSecondary Haemochromatosis in a Patient with Thalassemia Intermedia
Haemochromatosis is due to excessive accumulation of iron in tissues and organs impairing their function. The most common haematologic disorders that are subject to an intensive transfusion regimen bringing excess iron in the body are: thalassemia and myelodysplastic syndrome. The value of serum ferritin in these patients (indicator of iron stores condition) reaches high values. Red cell substi...
متن کاملA case of paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria associated with secondary haemochromatosis, a lower nephron nephrosis, and a megaloblastic anaemia.
Secondary or exogenous haemochromatosis has been defined by Aufderheide, Horns, and Goldish (1953) as a condition acquired as " a consequence of anaemia, blood transfusion, or both, and characterized by increased hepatic and total body iron and unequivocal portal cirrhosis." These authors found only 20 cases in the literature and has-e added two more of their own. They comment on the lack of ad...
متن کاملEffect of 22-oxacalcitriol on hyperparathyroidism of dialysis patients: results of a preliminary study.
Intermittent high dose administration of calcitriol or alfacalcidol is effective in suppressing secondary hyperparathyroidism in chronic dialysis patients, however calcaemic action of these vitamin D derivatives is a major obstacle. 22-Oxacalcitriol (OCT) has been reported to have less calcaemic action than calcitriol, while preserving a comparable suppressive effect on parathyroid hormone (PTH...
