What is the indication for iron chelation therapy after iron overload?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query and understood your concern.

I went through your reports (the attachments removed to protect the patient's identity). The reports are fine. Iron saturation is high because you are taking supplements. I suggest no treatment is currently required for it including chelation. I also suggest you stop iron supplements. At this level, there is no harm to your organs. I have a few questions.

1. Do you have an abnormal period now or earlier?

2. Was there any reason for starting iron supplements?

Kindly follow up with the answers.

I hope this has helped you.

Thanks and regards.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Thanks for the information. Currently, your iron reserves are fine and adequate. Hope your symptoms are better. Iron deficiency is common in menstruating females. If the reason for iron deficiency is nutritional, I suggest you take healthy food. If it is because of increased monthly flow, then female doctor consultation is important. It is important to correct the underlying cause. Else iron profile will be normal as long as you take supplements and become low again once stopped. I assume these things are taken care of as you are under the supervision of a doctor. To answer your question specifically, your iron profile is adequate. Hemoglobin is also fine. You may stop supplements in consultation with your doctor. Iron stores in organs cannot be determined by blood pictures. It requires a biopsy which is not required in your case.

I hope this has helped you.

Thanks and regards.
