Aceruloplasminemia is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by iron deposition in the brain and visceral organs. Deferiprone was used to treat aceruloplasminemia in previous study. In this study, we will assess the clinical curative effect evaluation of oral deferiprone in Chinese aceruloplasminemia patients.
Diabetes is one of the most severe symptom in aceruloplasminemia. In this study, we use R2\* of pancreas MRI to evaluate the effect of deferiprone treatment.
