Hematological Indices for Differential Diagnosis of Beta Thalassemia Trait and Iron Deficiency Anemia
Background. The two most frequent types of microcytic anemia are beta thalassemia trait ( β -TT) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA). We retrospectively evaluated the reliability of various indices for differential diagnosis of microcytosis and β -TT in the same patient groups. Methods. A total of 290 carefully selected children aged 1.1-16 years were evaluated. We calculated 12 discrimination ind...
متن کاملDifferentiation of beta thalassemia trait from iron deficiency anemia by hematological indices
OBJECTIVE We aimed at finding out reliable parameter in the differentiation of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and beta-thalassemia trait (β-TT) in the adult population subjected to Saudi Arabian Premarital Screening Program. METHODS A total of 620 adults (age range 21-36 years) reported during February 2012 to November 2012. Tests for serum iron and ferritin were carried out in individuals show...
متن کاملA new index to discriminate between iron deficiency anemia and thalassemia trait
BACKGROUND The most common microcytic and hypochromic anemias are iron deficiency anemia and thalassemia trait. Several indices to discriminate iron deficiency anemia from thalassemia trait have been proposed as simple diagnostic tools. However, some of the best discriminative indices use parameters in the formulas that are only measured in modern counters and are not always available in small ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Twenty Four Discriminant Indices for Differentiating Beta-Thalassemia Trait from Iron Deficiency Anemia in Egyptians
Background: Many Red Blood Cell (RBC) indices have been developed based on mathematical formulae to discriminate beta-thalassemia trait (βTT) from iron deficiency anemia (IDA). The latter two conditions represent the most common causes of microcytic hypochromic anemia in Egypt. This study aimed To evaluate the diagnostic reliability of 24 published discriminant indices for differentiating βTT f...
متن کاملCut off Determination of Discrimination Indices in Differential Diagnosis between Iron Deficiency Anemia and β- Thalassemia Minor
OBJECTIVE The two most frequent hypochromic microcytic anemias are β- thalassemia minor (BTM) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA). Several discrimination indices have been proposed to quickly discriminate these similar entities via parameters obtained from automated blood count analyzers. The aim of this study to evaluate the diagnostic reliability of ten discrimination indices in the differentiat...
