Conversely, iron removal inhibited these responses as well as urate-crystal-induced foot pad inflammation in rats in-vivo. Lastly, these investigators demonstrated that BLT was safer than WM in treating AGA (RR = 0.36, 95 % CI: 0.13 to 0.97, p = 0.04). The authors stated that this study had several drawbacks. Long-term results using hydroxyurea/phlebotomy for reducing secondary stroke risk in children with sickle cell anemia and iron overload.

Therapeutic phlebotomy is used to remove excess iron and maintain low normal body iron stores in patients with hemochromatosis. The authors stated that adequately powered RCTs with detailed pre-treatment iron studies should be considered to evaluate phlebotomy as an adjunct to pegylated IFN, with or without ribavirin. In a pilot study, Creange et al (2013) evaluated the concept that iron depletion (ID) induced by blood-letting and followed by recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) administration could be a therapeutic strategy in progressive multiple sclerosis (PMS) and that it could be assessed by neurophysiological measurements.

The authors concluded that their BC observed increased TP requests for patients on TRT from 2014 through 2016. Other disease features include leukocytosis, splenomegaly, thrombo-hemorrhagic complications, vasomotor disturbances, pruritus, and a small risk of disease progression into acute myeloid leukemia or myelofibrosis. UpToDate [online serial]. The most probable cause of hyper-ferritinemia was iron overload secondary to transplantation of a hemosiderotic liver.

Patients with end-organ damage due to iron overload should undergo regular phlebotomy to the same endpoints as indicated above. These findings raised concerns regarding the persistent risk of vascular events in these donors, especially when coupled with the misperception by patients and health care providers that donation has reduced or eliminated the risks of TRT-induced polycythemia. GUIDELINES FOR THERAPEUTIC PHLEBOTOMY PERFORMED BY THE CLINICAL SERVICE Policy: Therapeutic phlebotomies are performed on outpatients and inpatients on a Monday-Friday, 0800-1630 basis either in the DeGowin Blood Center Patient Services area or on the inpatient unit. color: red!important; AABB is dedicated to its mission of improving lives by making transfusion medicine and biotherapies safe, available and effective worldwide. 2006;81(10):760-767.
