Hi Chirley,

transfusions can cause a liver damage very early. Liver Biopsy or Magnetic Resonance Tomography can show the damage. I had a MRT done shortly before my SZT after having received 25 Ery-concentrates and the results were showing that there was aleady a damage in the liver.

How many transfusions did you get in sum?

How high was your ferritin level before you started with the transfusions?
Some MDS-people have an elevated ferritin level because of other reasons, not because of transfusions.

Kind regards,

Margarete
