BackgroundIron overload is a risk factor affecting all patients with thalassemia intermedia (TI). We aimed to determine whether there is a relationship of serum ferritin (SF) and alanine ami-notransferase (ALT) with liver iron concentration (LIC) determined by R2 magnetic reso-nance imaging (R2-MRI), to estimate the most relevant degree of iron overload and best time to chelate in patients with TI.MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, 119 patients with TI (mean age years) were randomly se-lected and compared with 120 patients who had a diagnosis of thalassemia major (TM). Correlations of LIC, as determined by R2-MRI, with SF and ALT levels, were assessed in all participants. A P-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. ResultsSF and LIC levels were lower in patients with TI than in those with TM; only ferritin values were significant. We found a statistically significant relationship between SF and LIC, with cut-off estimates of SF in patients with TI who had splenectomy and those who entered puberty spontaneously (916 and 940 ng/mL, respectively) with LIC >5 mg Fe/g dry weight (P<0.0001). A significant relationship was also found for patients with TI who had ele-vated ALT level (63.5 U/L), of 3.15 times the upper normal laboratory limit, using a cut-off for LIC ≥5 mg Fe/g dry weight.ConclusionWe determined the cut-off values for ALT and SF indicating the best time to start iron chela-tion therapy in patients with TI, and found significant correlations among iron overload, SF, and ALT.
