Glucose dysregulation in patients with iron overload: is there a relationship with quantitative pancreas and liver iron and fat content measured by MRI?

The aim was to investigate the relationship between pancreatic and hepatic iron and fat to glucose metabolism in patients with iron overload and address conflicting results in literature as regards the relationship between pancreas iron and glucose dysregulation. We retrospectively evaluated pancreatic and hepatic R2*, fat fraction (FF), liver iron concentration (LIC), and glucose metabolism in 105 patients with iron overload obtained with a...
