Hypothyroidism in β-Thalassemia Intermedia Patients with and without Hydroxyurea
Hydroxyurea (HU) has been successfully used in patients with β-thalassemia intermedia (β-TI). We aimed to evaluate the effect of the long-term use of HU on thyroid function in patients with β-TI. Seventy-five patients with β-TI aged≥11 years and taking HU were randomly selected during 2010 in southern Iran. Thirty-one patients with β-TI without HU were considered as a control group. Serum level...

The possibility of typing the molecular defect allows a retrospective analysis of patients and o...
