RDWI is Better Discriminant than RDW in Differentiation of Iron Deficiency Anaemia and Beta Thalassaemia Trait
Iron deûciency anemia (IDA) and beta-thalassemia trait (BTT) are the common causes of microcytic hypochromic anaemia. Several discrimination indices have been introduced to discriminate quickly these similar entities via parameters obtained from automated cell counter. The purpose of the study was to compare the value of two discrimination indices, red cell distribution width index (RDWI) and r...
متن کاملIron state in alpha and beta thalassaemia trait.
The iron state was examined in two groups of pregnant women who were carriers of alpha and beta thalassaemia genes. In both groups the haematological expression of the disease--namely, haemoglobin and mean cell haemoglobin concentrations--was nearly identical. In patients with alpha thalassaemia the ferritin concentrations and percentage of ferritin deficiency was the same as in normal pregnant...
متن کاملFrequency of Coincident Iron Deficiency among Children with Β Thalassemia Trait
β Thalassemia Trait(BTT) produces mild ineffective erythropoiesis and associated increased iron absorption from the gut. Based on these reasons it had been suggested that BTT confers an advantage in maintaining iron balance, in which case prevalence of iron deficiency should be lower in those with the trait. This Study was carried out to determine the frequency of coexistence of iron deficiency...
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 کاملGlucose-6-phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency and Thalassaemia Trait
There is now evidence that an increase in the low-density serum lipoproteins plays a part in the causation of degenerative vascular disease (Gofman, Jones, Lindgren, Lyon, Elliott, and Strisower, 1950; Kannel, Dawber, Kagan, Revotskie, and Stokes, 1961). Studies of serum cholesterol in different ethnic groups has shown important differences (Adlersberg and Schaefer, 1959), but it cannot yet be ...
