Desferrioxamine in ocular siderosis: a long-term electrophysiological evaluation.
نویسنده
چکیده
Fourteen rabbits received an intravitreal iron foreign body and were treated with desferrioxamine. Their electroretinographic (ERG) values were recorded and compared with those of an untreated group. With desferrioxamine treatment a delay of the siderotic damage and preservation of better ERG potentials is observed.

Iron-containing corneal rust rings treated with desferrioxamine.
INJURY to the cornea with an iron-containing foreign body usually leaves a rust ring. Most surgeons advise complete removal of any rust, but this often causes considerable trauma to the already injured cornea. Desferrioxamine ("Desferal", Ciba Laboratories) is an iron-free compound isolated from a strain of Streptomycespilosus, which binds ferric ions to form an octahedral complex ferrioxamine....
متن کاملSiderosis, haemolysis or hepatonecrosis in increasing post-desferrioxamine sideruria in acute viral hepatitis?
Post-desferrioxamine (DF) sideruria is accepted as a significant diagnostic test in dis-siderotic states: the highly marked iron excretion, observed in primary haemochromatosis, bears witness to this as does the quite low sideruria seen in irondeficient conditions. Likewise, in acute viral hepatitis, an elevated urinary iron elimination following DF administration has been reported for more tha...
متن کاملDifferential ferrioxamine test in haemochromatosis and liver diseases.
The effect of desferrioxamine is examined in more than 100 patients with liver disease, including haemochromatosis, using the differential ferrioxamine test. The procedure gives a reasonably accurate estimate of the size of the iron stores, as determined by multiple venesection, in patients with idiopathic haemochromatosis. Since desferrioxamine is not specific for storage iron, unequivocally a...
متن کاملOcular changes in patients undergoing long-term desferrioxamine treatment.
In a group of young patients with thalassaemia and iron overload treated by subcutaneous infusions of desferrioxamine we have found a number of minor alterations in retinal function. The incidence of such changes is not related to drug dosage or to ferritin level but to abnormality of the extended glucose tolerance test.
متن کاملCombined Therapy with Deferiprone and Desferrioxamine as Compared to Desferasirox on Ventricular Function in Thalassemia Major Patients
Abstract Background Myocardial iron overload is the leading cause of death in patients with beta-thalassemia major. Combined therapy with deferiprone(DFP) and desferrioxamine (DFO)were suggested to be more effective than deferasirox(DFX) for removing heart iron. Deferasirox has recently been made available, but its long-term efficacy on cardiac function has not yet been established. Our study...
