The major clinical problem in patients with thalassemia is iron overloading usually resulting from increased exogenous iron absorption from transfusions. Diseases of various organ systems result, including cirrhosis, cardiomyopathy, diabetes, and other less well appreciated endocrinopathies. Since 1976, we have routinely studied these patients with abdominal computed tomography (CT) and also have scanned other areas of clinical interest. It is the purpose of this report to examine the findings in 35 patients with severe betathalassemia and associated hemochromatosis in whom we have tabulated the pertinent CT, clinical, and laboratory data. |
