Renal Hemosiderosis among Iranian Transfusion Dependent β-Thalassemia Major Patients
Background: In recent years, the success in management of thalassemic patients, has allowed for some previously unrecognized complications including renal abnormalities to emerge. This prospective study aimed to investigate kidney iron overload by means of MRI T2* and also renal function based on laboratory tests for early markers of glomerular and tubular dysfunction among adult Iranian transf...
متن کاملA STUDY OF THE INTRACELLULAR KILLING OF THE PERIPHERAL BLOOD NEUTROPHILS IN β- THALASSEMIA MAJOR PATIENTS
52 β- thalassemia major patients were studied. Their ages ranged from two to 20 years. The group consisted of 22 girls and 30 boys. Candida intracellular killing and NBT (nitroblue tetrazolium) tests were performed on the peripheral blood neutrophils of these patients. Average results of the intracellular killing test was within normal range for the patients, but showed an appreciable decr...
متن کاملβ-Thalassemia Mutations among Transfusion-Dependent Thalassemia Major Patients in Northern Iraq
Molecular defects responsible for β-thalassemias (thal) were investigated among 254 chromosomes from 127 transfusion-dependent unrelated thalassemic patients from two provinces in Northern Iraq. Among fourteen identified mutations, the seven most common found in 88.2% of the thal chromosomes were: IVS-II-1 (G → A), IVS-I-1 (G → A), codon 8 (-AA), codon 39 (G → T), codon 8/9 (+G), codon 44 (-C),...

متن کاملPrevalence of hepatitis C resulted from blood transfusion in major thalassemia patients in Semnan, Damghan and Garmsar (2002)
Introduction: Hepatitis C is one of the most important liver diseases in the world. The most common cause of hepatitis is blood transfusion. Children with thalassemia who receive frequent blood transfusions are at high risk of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Thus their diagnosis and treatment on them causes reduction of next consequences. Methods: In this descriptive study all the pat...
