iron overload
hi i havent posted in a while my husband is transfusion dependant in 08 he only got 2 units of blood 2 times but in 09 he received tx every 2 weeks until april and then every week, this mon. it will be 2 weeks since last tx he gets labs twice a week and this past thursday he was 8.3 so we decided to wait until mon. we were wondering if exjade would increase as because he was on 250 exjade but at last ferritin ck. he was 2700 up from 2300 so dr. put him on 500 a day he also gets desferal by iv when he gets blood he has had no side effects from it also his platelets usually in the 20 to 40 range has increased to 95 do u think that maybe it could be the exjade we are grateful for any improvement
