    AbstractConditions leading to iron overload range from rare hereditary disorders to more common medical conditions associated with chronic blood transfusions. Iron overload has deleterious effects on various vital organs (eg, liver, heart, and endocrine glands). Serum ferritin (in conjunction with transferrin saturation) is the most widely used test to evaluate iron burden and to screen for iron overload. The management plan should be adjusted to account for iron overload and potential consequences of liver, heart, and other organ involvement.Copyright © 2012. Published by Elsevier Inc.
