Prevalence of Delta Beta Thalassemia Minor in Southern Iran
Background: Hb A2 is elevated in subjects with beta thalassemia minor but small percent of carriers have normal Hb A2 with elevated levels of HbF (2-10%). This type of thalassemia is called delta beta thalassemia, and can be missed in pre-marriage hematologic consults or screening which leads to increased risk of child birth with beta thalassemia major. Materials and Methods: In this prospe...
متن کاملWhole blood viscosity in beta thalassemia minor.
Patients with heterozygous beta-thalassemia minor have a decreased hematocrit (HCT). Since the HCT is a primary determinant of whole blood viscosity, the known reduction in HCT in beta-thalassemia minor should lead to a measurable reduction of whole blood viscosity. The influence of the relatively lower mean corpuscular volume and consequent higher red blood cell count and beta-thalassemia mino...
متن کاملNitric oxide in beta-thalassemia minor: what factors contribute?
I read with great interest the recent publication by Bayraktar et al. [1] on nitric oxide (NO) in beta thalassemia minor. in which they reached the conclusion that “These findings confirm that plasma NO levels in betathalassemia minor patients are decreased at the time of diagnosis.” Bayraktar et al. also noted the possible usefulness of NO level in assessing the prognosis and follow-up evaluat...
متن کاملPrevalence of renal tubular dysfunction in beta thalassemia minor in shiraz
Background & objective: β-Thalassemia minor is an asymptomatic hereditary disease. The first study on the relation of renal tubular dysfunction and β-thalassemia minor was performed in 2002 but those studies seem inadequate.The main goal of this study is through evaluation of renal tubular function in 100 patients with thalassemia minor. Materials & Methods: 100 patients with β- thalassemia...
