update
Hi all,
Just to update this thread, and for those who may be starting out on chelation - After starting out with 100 mg then 200 mg and now 400 mg/day of asunra(exjade equiv) for last 5 weeks, my mother is able to tolerate it well, creatinine is normal at 0.73 (range 0.5 - 1.3), Ferritin down from 3600+ to just below 3000. She has also received 4 units(2 units twice) pRBC in this period.
