Background: The reciprocal of multiecho gradient-echo (ME-GRE) T2* magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) R2*, rises linearly with tissue iron concentration in both heart and liver. Little is known about renal iron deposition in β-thalassemia major (β-TM).
Aim: To assess renal iron overload by MRI and its relation to total body iron and renal function among 50 pediatric patients with β-TM.
