deferiprone and Endocrine System Diseases

deferiprone has been researched along with Endocrine System Diseases in 3 studies

Deferiprone: A pyridone derivative and iron chelator that is used in the treatment of IRON OVERLOAD in patients with THALASSEMIA.
deferiprone : A member of the class of 4-pyridones that is pyridin-4(1H)-one substituted at positions 1 and 2 by methyl groups and at position 3 by a hydroxy group. A lipid-soluble iron-chelator used for treatment of thalassaemia.

Endocrine System Diseases: Pathological processes of the ENDOCRINE GLANDS, and diseases resulting from abnormal level of available HORMONES.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" In 18 requiring thyroxine supplementation for hypothyroidism, 10 were able to discontinue, and four reduced their thyroxine dose."5.14Normalisation of total body iron load with very intensive combined chelation reverses cardiac and endocrine complications of thalassaemia major. ( Berdoukas, V; Chouliaras, G; Farmaki, K; Pappa, C; Tzoumari, I, 2010)
" We compared the efficacy of oral deferiprone (L1) to subcutaneous desferrioxamine (DFO) chelation therapy for the prevention of major endocrinopathies (growth hormone insufficiency, diabetes mellitus and gonadal dysfunction) among patients with beta-thal major to see if we could offer these patients an easier and more painless way to reduce their body iron load and related endocrine complications."5.12Comparison of oral and subcutaneous iron chelation therapies in the prevention of major endocrinopathies in beta-thalassemia major patients. ( Peng, CT; Tsai, CH; Tsai, FJ; Wang, CH; Wu, KH, 2006)
