factor-a, which increase endothelial expression of E-selectin. These molecules tether rolling neutrophils by binding to granulocyte Lewis x sialyated carbohydrate (CD15). This allows neutrophil integrins such as complement receptor 3 (CD11b) to adhere to the endothelium via interaction with its ligand intercellular adhesion molecule-1.7 The importance of CD64 (Fc-gamma receptor I) as a marker o...
متن کاملAlloimmunization and erythrocyte autoimmunization in transfusion-dependent thalassemia patients of predominantly asian descent.
The development of hemolytic alloantibodies and erythrocyte autoantibodies complicates transfusion therapy in thalassemia patients. The frequency, causes, and prevention of this phenomena among 64 transfused thalassemia patients (75% Asian) were evaluated. The effect of red blood cell (RBC) phenotypic differences between donors (mostly white) and Asian recipients on the frequency of alloimmuniz...
متن کاملRenal 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 کاملPrevalence of Alloantibodies and Autoantibodies in Transfusion Dependent Thalassemia Patients
Background: The development of anti-red blood cell alloantibodies remains a major problem in transfusion of blood in thalassemia major patients. Also, Autoantibodies can result in clinical hemolysis and difficulty in cross-matching blood. We studied the frequency of red blood cell alloimmunization and autoimmunization among thalassemia patients who received regular transfusions in Ilam province...
متن کاملBone density in transfusion dependent thalassemia patients in Urmia, Iran
Background Patients with thalassemia major and intermedia are susceptible to osteopenia and osteoporosis. The mechanism of osteoporosis in these patients is multifactorial. Transfusion related iron overload in endocrine organs leads to impaired growth hormone secretion, diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, hypoparathyroidism, lack of sex steroids and vitamin D deficiency that contribute t...
