Ideally, patients will achieve and maintain a serum ferritin value of below 1000 ng/mL, which is associated with higher survival rates and improved cardiac and liver function than higher serum ferritin levels 3, 9. Appropriate chelation therapy has been shown to reduce liver and myocardial iron overload.
