Hepatic Iron Concentration and Total Body Iron Stores in Thalassemia Major
Emanuele Angelucci,Gary M. Brittenham,Christine E. McLaren,Marta Ripalti,Donatella Baronciani,Claudio Giardini,Maria Galimberti,Paola Polchi,Guido Lucarelli +8 more
TL;DR: The hepatic iron concentration is a reliable indicator of total body iron stores in patients with thalassemia major and in patientsWith transfusion-related iron overload, repeated determinations of the hepaticIron concentration can provide a quantitative means of measuring the long-term iron balance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of iron overload and hepatitis C virus positivity in determining progression of liver fibrosis in thalassemia following bone marrow transplantation
Emanuele Angelucci,Muretto P,Antonio Nicolucci,Donatella Baronciani,Buket Erer,Javid Gaziev,Marta Ripalti,Pietro Sodani,Silvia Tomassoni,Giuseppe Visani,Guido Lucarelli +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the role of iron overload in the natural history of liver fibrosis was identified, and the risk for fibrosis progression correlated to medium hepatic iron content (hazard rate, 1.9; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.74-5.5).
Journal ArticleDOI
Marrow transplantation for patients with thalassemia: results in class 3 patients.
Guido Lucarelli,Reginald A. Clift,Maria Galimberti,Paola Polchi,Emanuele Angelucci,Donatella Baronciani,Claudio Giardini,Marco Andreani,M Manna,Nesci S,F Agostinelli,S Rapa,Marta Ripalti,F. Albertini +13 more
TL;DR: Results of transplantation for patients with advanced thalassemia treatment have improved with the introduction of conditioning regimens with less CY, but this has been associated with an increase in rejection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Persistence of Mixed Chimerism in Patients Transplanted for the Treatment of Thalassemia
Marco Andreani,M Manna,Guido Lucarelli,P Tonucci,F Agostinelli,Marta Ripalti,S Rapa,N Talevi,M Galimberti,Nesci S +9 more
TL;DR: It is found that rejection and disease recurrence occur in approximately one third of patients with early mixed chimerism, and high levels of host type hematopoiesis can be present in patients not requiring transfusion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phlebotomy to Reduce Iron Overload in Patients Cured of Thalassemia by Bone Marrow Transplantation
Emanuele Angelucci,Muretto P,Guido Lucarelli,Marta Ripalti,Donatella Baronciani,Buket Erer,Maria Galimberti,Claudio Giardini,D Gaziev,Paola Polchi +9 more
TL;DR: Data indicate that phlebotomy is safe, efficient, and widely applicable to ex-thalassemics after BMT, and indicates that iron overload remains an important cause of morbidity.
