Abstract
We assessed the clinical sequelae of transfusional iron overload in 15 nonthalassemic adults (40 to 71 years of age) with anemias requiring transfusions. Iron loading had been present for less than four years in 14 patients. The number of units of blood transfused ranged from 60 to 210 (mean, 120).Keywords
