Conclusion

We conclude from our results that:

1) A positive correlation was found between PRBC and SF with LIC. Patients with PRBC<20 and SF<1000 ng/mL did not have iron overload. On the other hand, patients with PRBC>20 and SF>1000 ng/mL did have iron overload. Therefore, performing liver MRI for LIC measurement would not be necessary.

2) In patients with non-coincident markers, measurement of LIC by MRI would be useful to evaluate real iron overload and decide subsequent management of patients.
