چکیده
Patients and Methods: Ninety children with beta-thalassemia major (55 males and 35 females) with a mean age of 7.17±3.78 years (1-13 years) and age and sex matched control group of 60 healthy children (36 males and 24 females) with a mean age 6.98±3.66 years (1-13) years. Serum parathyroid hormone (PTH), serum total Calcium (Ca), serum phosphorus (P), serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP), serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) and serum ferritin levels were measured.

Relation between bone mineral density and serum ferritin levels in patients with thalassemia major
Background: Thalassemia/haemoglobinopathy is a hereditary disease with increased erythropoiesis and expansion of the bone marrow cavity. Consequently, there is a reduction in trabecular bone tissue resulting in osteopenia/osteoporosis. The present study was performed to determine bone mineral density (BMD) in children and adolescents with major thalassemia and its correlation with serum fer...

Background Thalassemia is the most common hereditary disorder worldwide. The patient's’ survival is dependent on lifetime blood transfusion which leads to iron overload and its toxicity on various organs including endocrine glands. The study aimed to investigate endocrine disorders in patients with Beta-thalassemia major in the Southern Khorasan province, Iran. Materials and Methods In this des...
متن کاملEvaluation of serum FGF23 in patients with beta-thalassemia major compared to healthy population and its associated factors
Background: The role of phosphate hemostasis in development of thalassemia bone disease has not been extensively studied yet. Due to the lack of sufficient human studies about the changes of serum Fibroblast growth factor-23(FGF23) in patients with beta-thalassemia major as the first step of investigating the role of FGF23 in thalassemia bone disease, the present study aimed to investigate the ...
متن کاملComparison of Captopril with Enalapril on Improvement of Systolic and Diastolic Heart Functions in Asymptomatic Patients Over 10 Years Old with Beta- Thalassemia Major
Background: Beta-thalassemia major is a severe and lethal hemolytic anemia. Regular transfusion is necessary for avoidance of its complications but it may end to cardiac involvement secondary to iron overload. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) are useful medications even in early stages of heart failure. We studied the effects of two common ACEIs on improvement of heart function ...
