Clinical trials: Tumor Deposits
Iron Overload, Excessive Body Iron Burden
Massive Iron Deposit Assessment
Iron overload is a severe complication of multiple blood transfusions. As the body has no physiologic mechanism for clearing iron, repeated transfusions cause iron accumulation in organs and lead to iron toxicity.
