Cooley's anemia patients treated at Tulane for iron overload
Melissa, a ten-year-old with thalassemia major, receives regular red blood cell transfusions. Tulane pediatric team led by Dr. Jaime Zusman uses desferoxamine to chelate iron and excrete it in urine, aiming to reduce organ damage while continuing transfusions. The FDA has approved DFO for this use, with best results from eight-hour continuous administration via an implanted pump. Researchers pursue improved methods to increase iron excretion and daily DFO injections.
