iron levels can’t be too low, nor can they be too high, and donating blood helps keep that balance in check. Iron can react with oxygen and oxidize as a mineral, which can increase the viscosity of the blood and increase the risk of it sticking to the walls ofarteriesand blood ...
Unexpectedly treated patients had higher red blood cell counts and lower iron levels than control and untreated patients. This may be due to greater erythropoietic activity or other—yet undiscovered—mechanisms. We have not presented results of copper and iron status according to phenotype. In both...

Notably in the last 3 decades we have witnessed profound changes in the management of patients with thalassemia major. Regular red blood cell transfusions and iron chelating permit a normal development throughout childhood, and extend survival. So treatment of HCV infection would have a great ...
