deferiprone and Thrombocytopenia

deferiprone has been researched along with Thrombocytopenia in 5 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.

Thrombocytopenia: A subnormal level of BLOOD PLATELETS.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Enrolled patients (9 with β-thalassemia major and 33 with β-thalassemia hemoglobin E), ranging from 3 to 18 years in age, were divided into 3 groups; group 1 ferritin ≥1,000-2,500 ng/ml (n = 10), group 2 ferritin >2,500-4,000 ng/ml (n = 23) and group 3 ferritin >4,000 ng/ml (n = 9)."2.80Combined chelation therapy with daily oral deferiprone and twice-weekly subcutaneous infusion of desferrioxamine in children with β-thalassemia: 3-year experience. ( Chuansumrit, A; Kadegasem, P; Sasanakul, W; Sirachainan, N; Songdej, D; Sungkarat, W; Wongwerawattanakoon, P, 2015)
"Thrombocytopenia is one of the major side effects in young thalassaemics and necessitates frequent close monitoring of blood counts but its resolution after discontinuation and absence of clinical evidence of bleeding does not preclude its use."2.71Safety of oral iron chelator deferiprone in young thalassaemics. ( Chandra, J; Naithani, R; Sharma, S, 2005)
