Abstract: Iron overload is a major complication of thalassemia, clinically manifested as heart failure, liver cirrhosis, diabetes, growth and development retardation, and delayed sexual development, with severe cases leading to death. Standardized iron chelation therapy is essential to ensure long-term and high-quality survival for patients. This guideline provides recommendations on methods for detecting iron overload, the timing for initiating iron chelation therapy, treatment strategies for transfusion-dependent and non-transfusion-dependent thalassemia, and special circumstances regarding iron chelation therapy, serving as a reference for iron chelation treatment in thalassemia.
