Ferritin thresholds for cardiac and liver hemosiderosis in β-thalassemia patients: a diagnostic accuracy study
Abstract Ferritin is frequently used to screen some dire consequences of iron overload in β-thalassemia patients. The study aimed to define the best cutoff point of ferritin to screen for cardiac and liver hemosiderosis in these cases. This was a registry-based study on β-thalassemia patients living...
