If the hematocrit normalizes, a lower dose of testosterone should be continued or restarted. Statements were produced using a Delphi process, and2 consensus conferences involving a panel of 21 experts appointed by the European LeukemiaNet (ELN) were convened. Johnson S. Effect of gradual accumulation of iron, molybdenum and sulfur, slow depletion of zinc and copper, ethanol or fructose ingestion and phlebotomy in gout. Lengfelder (2013) presented an overview on relevant topics of pathogenesis and diagnosis of PV. The American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases' clinical practice guideline on "Diagnosis and management of hemochromatosis" (Bacon et al, 2011) stated that the guideline developers recommended treatment by phlebotomy of patients with non-hereditary hemochromatosis (HFE) iron overload who have an elevated hepatic iron concentration. Background: The AABB (formerly, the American Association of Blood Banks) developed this guideline on appropriate use of platelet transfusion in adult patients. The authors concluded that Hb concentrations were elevated in donors on TRT, and significant numbers had Hb levels above those recommended by current guidelines. Monitoring of %DRBC may predict adverse events and aid in evaluating hydroxyurea compliance. In the first trial (STOP) a chronic transfusion regimen for maintaining sickle hemoglobin lower than 30 % was compared with standard care in 130 children with sickle cell disease judged (through transcranial Doppler ultrasonography) as high-risk for first stroke. Both BLT and WM produced comparable decreases in UA (MD = -18.72, 95 % CI: -38.24 to 0.81, p = 0.06) and ESR levels (MD = -3.01, 95 % CI: -6.89 to 0.86, p = 0.13). AABB is dedicated to its mission of improving lives by making transfusion medicine and biotherapies safe, available and effective worldwide. Using comprehensive outcomes was also the common problems of most RCTs of traditional Chinese medicine published in Chinese. ; Writing Committee of the General Haematology Task Force. World J Gastroenterol. These investigators also stated that maintenance of NID by depleting the levels via phlebotomy in patients with gout induces either complete or marked reduction in incidence and severity of gout flares in humans. Furthermore, an UpToDate review on Approach to the patient with suspected iron overload (Schrier and Bacon, 2017) states that In liver disease (e.g., viral hepatitis, alcoholic hepatitis, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis), injury to hepatocytes may cause an increase in serum ferritin despite normal total body iron stores The major treatments for iron overload include phlebotomy for those without significant anemia Removal of iron with a course of therapeutic phlebotomy (at least 5 to 6 phlebotomies) with normalization of the ferritin level. Hyperferritinemia and iron stores have been associated with the severity of liver damage in NAFLD, and iron depletion reduced insulin resistance and liver enzymes. Thalassemia intermedia patients can be candidates of liver donors to decrease pre-transplant wait-list mortality. The most probable cause of hyper-ferritinemia was iron overload secondary to transplantation of a hemosiderotic liver. American Gastroenterological Association medical position statement on the management of hepatitis C. Gastroenterology. Johnson (1999) noted that gout affects mostly men over 40 years of age, and occasionally, post-menopausal women. 4 . Patient 1 had hemochromatosis, HFE C282Y homozygosity, and beta-thalassemia minor. The authors concluded that the STOP trial demonstrated a significantly reduced risk of stroke in participants with abnormal transcranial Doppler ultrasonography velocities receiving regular blood transfusions. This Clinical Policy Bulletin may be updated and therefore is subject to change. color:#eee; A decrease in gout flares following phlebotomy to attain NID levels in hyperuricemic patients is also suggestive of a role in gout. A JAK2 mutation is found in approximately 60 % of patients with ET. Moreover, they stated that ongoing multi-center trials are investigating the use of chronic transfusion to prevent silent infarcts, the use of hydroxyurea as an alternative to transfusion in children with abnormal transcranial Doppler ultrasonography velocities, and the use of hydroxyurea to prevent conversion of transcranial Doppler ultrasonography velocities from conditional (borderline) to abnormal values. 2017;57(3):578-581. Creange A, Lefaucheur JP, Balleyguier MO, Galacteros F. Iron depletion induced by bloodletting and followed by rhEPO administration as a therapeutic strategy in progressive multiple sclerosis: A pilot, open-label study with neurophysiological measurements. This patient no longer requires narcotic analgesics for pain, has resolution of constitutional symptoms, and has not required further hospitalizations for vaso-occlusive pain crises. Franchini M, Veneri D. Hereditary hemochromatosis.

PROs have been recommended to be reported for RCTs. The stroke rate (7 strokes on hydroxyurea and phlebotomy, none on transfusion and chelation, OR of 16.49 (95 % CI: 0.92 to 294.84)) was within the non-inferiority margin, but the liver iron content was not better in the alternative arm. In a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs), Desai and colleagues (2008) compared phlebotomy and IFN to IFN alone for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C (CHC). Franchini M, Gandini G, Veneri D, et al. According to guidelines from the Hemochromatosis Management Working Group (Barton et al, 1998), therapeutic phlebotomy should be initiated in men with serum ferritin levels of 300 ug/L or more and in women with serum ferritin levels of 200 ug/L or more, regardless of the presence or absence of symptoms. The authors concluded that the clinical phenotypes and hemochromatosis genotypes of adults who developed iron overload after ingesting iron supplements over long periods were heterogeneous. Guidelines from the American Gastroenterological Association (Dienstagand McHutchison, 2006) on management of hepatitis C concluded that clinical trials have failed to demonstrate the efficacy of phlebotomy in patients with chronic HCV infection, and that phlebotomy cannot currently be recommended as a treatment for HCV infection. No serious AEs related to blood-letting therapy were reported. background-color:#eee; The included trials were all published in Chinese and all used comprehensive outcomes, such as response rate, as primary outcomes, lacking for universal, and PROs.

In patients with established iron overload disease, weakness, fatigue, increased hepatic enzyme concentrations, right upper quadrant pain, and hyperpigmentation are often substantially alleviated by therapeutic phlebotomy. Mean Hb concentration was 10.7 g/dL before phlebotomies and 8.8 to 9.2 g/dL during the4 years of treatment. All 5 RCTs published in manuscript form showed a trend towards a benefit from the phlebotomy plus IFN in attaining SVR, and the results of the meta-analysis were not dependent on any single RCT, since excluding any single RCT did not change the results.

The Medline database and Cochrane registry of controlled trials were searched using the key words "phlebotomy" and "treatment of hepatitis C." Reference lists of review articles discussing the interaction between iron and CHC, and prospective RCTs comparing phlebotomy plus IFN therapy to IFN alone were searched to identify additional RCTs that compared phlebotomy plus IFN to IFN alone. Key questions were selected according the criterion of clinical relevance. Waltham, MA: UpToDate; reviewed May 2020. Zhongguo Zhen Jiu. Rocchi E, Gibertini P, Cassanelli M, et al.
