Introduction: Packed red blood cell (PRBC) transfusions are an essential component of leukemia treatment regimens. Transfusion-induced iron overload can be seen after approximately 10 to 20 transfusions. Very little is known about transfusion-related iron burden in oncology populations and its possible effect on endocrine function and glycemia.Patients and methods: We evaluated growth parameters and endocrine disorders in relation to the iron overload st...
