Hi Birgitta-A,
Thanks for responding.
Is there any study or information on drop in ferritin levels and HGB increase, at what level of ferritin can we expect any improvement in HGB? Ferritin at diagnosis was 980. The doctor also is of this opinion that there have been hematopoeisis improvement in people after start of chelation, but for that he said she should be on minimum dose of 800 mg/day.
She has increased the dose now to 600 mg/day. Will update with next reading.
Thankyou.
