Ferritin

Hi Birgitta-A,

Thanks for the info.

For liver n heart iron checking, can we rely on the blood test like ALT, albumin, creatinine? So far, all these results look ok besides the creatinine is a little bit high on the low side of the range.

About the desferral infusion, the hema actually recommends to use the "thalapump 20", I guess kind of small home pump as well. I have not seen it myself, get this info from my sister. http://www.maycare.com

Actually there were 2 options for desferral syringe pump, thalapump 20 or injectomat agilia, looks like injectomat agiliia is more difficult administer by my mom, so my sister choose thalapump 20 as it's straight forward. I guess.
