This study aims to determine the pancreatic iron and fat
content in patients with iron overload.Highest iron and
fat content was found in the pancreatic tail and
pancreatic R2* correlated with cardiac iron deposition.
Besides iron accumulation, fatty degeneration might be
an additional risk factor for the development of
diabetes and might also explain the early onset of
diabetes in these patients.
