Deferoxamine as a potential cause of incidentally found T1-hyperintense urine on magnetic resonance imaging
T1-hyperintense urine can be an incidental finding on MRI with many potential causes, such as prior gadolinium administration or hematuria. This is the case of a 33-year-old female with a history of sickle cell disease complicated by iron overload secondary to chronic transfusions, who has been on m...

T1-hyperintense urine can be an incidental finding on MRI with many potential causes, such as prior gadolinium administration or hematuria. This is the case of a 33-year-old female with a history of sickle cell disease complicated by iron overload secondary to chronic transfusions, who has been on multiple different iron chelation regimens. Due to persistent iron overload despite various treatments, the patient was started on a new iron chelation regimen that utilized a protocol involving inpatient admission for high dose IV deferoxamine. While admitted for the administration of this regimen, the patient underwent an MRI due to acute on chronic hip pain; this MRI demonstrated an incidental finding of T1-hyperintense urine.
