Middelkoncentrationerne af serum ferritin var ikke signifikant forskellige i de to behandlingsgrupper, men middelkoncentrationen af jern i leveren hos patienter behandlet med deferiprone synes at stige mere end hos patienter behandlet med deferoxamine.
The mean serum ferritin levels were not significantly different in the two treatment groups, but mean hepatic iron concentration in deferiprone treated patients seems to increase more than in deferoxamine treated patients.
