Iron overload disorders such as hereditary hemochromatosis and iron loading anemias are a common cause of morbidity from liver diseases and increase risk of hepatic fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Treatment options for iron-induced damage are limited, partly because there is lack of animal models of human disease. Therefore, we investigated the effect of iron overload in liver-specific...
Hepcidin is a major regulator of iron metabolism. We evaluated changes in serum hepcidin during 3 months of therapy with the iron‐chelator deferasirox in patients with low‐risk myelodysplastic syndrome and iron overload. Serum hepcidin was found to be high in these patients, correlated with their iron and oxidative status, and further increased by treatment with deferasirox. These findings support...
