DESFERAL -
Noun: A drug used in Chelation Therapy which helps to remove the high levels of iron from a patients system. The numerous blood transfusions that a person with aplastic anaemia or myelodysplasia must have results, after a period of time, in high levels of iron which the body cannot remove on it's own. This can cause problems with the function of organs so must be dealt with. See haemosiderosis .
