Hi Chirley,
Thanx for sharing the info. Actually the doctor did not check anything on the heart or kidney. He was giving us this statement just because we told him that my mom was diagnosed with Iron overload due to frequent BT.
That's make me doubt what the doctor says, as my mom always get 2 BT every month. Will consult with the hematologist next week about this question.
About the diuretic injection or tablet, is it normally needed for the frequent BT patient ? or this treatment is only needed with someone with weak heart and kidney ? Is it possible to find out from the blood test whether a patient with weak heart or kidney ? Thanx in advance for the help.
