A prospective multi-centric study was conducted to determine if iron-chelating agent deferiprone also chelates zinc. Twenty four-hour urinary zinc levels were compared in multiply transfused children with thalassemia major not receiving any chelation therapy (Group A, n = 28), those receiving deferiprone (Group B, n = 30) and age and sex-matched controls of subjects in Group B (Group C, n = 29) by a colorimetric method. The 24-hour mean urinary excretion of zinc was significantly higher in Group B (1010.8 ± 1248.1 mcg) than in the other two groups (Group A: 547.8 ± 832.9mcg and Group C 459.8 ± 270.3mcg) indicating that deferiprone chelates zinc
