متن کاملWhen to consider transfusion therapy for patients with non-transfusion-dependent thalassaemia
Non-transfusion-dependent thalassaemia (NTDT) refers to all thalassaemia disease phenotypes that do not require regular blood transfusions for survival. Thalassaemia disorders were traditionally concentrated along the tropical belt stretching from sub-Saharan Africa through the Mediterranean region and the Middle East to South and South-East Asia, but global migration has led to increased incid...
متن کاملRemarkable Efficacy of Vitamin D in Improving Ventricular Dysfunction in Transfusion-Dependent Thalassemia Patients
Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate efficacy of high dose vitamin D in improving left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in thalassemia patients with heart failure and vitamin D deficiency. Materials and Methods: This clinical trial study was conducted on 16 chronically transfused thalassemia patients and ventricular dysfunction with vitamin D deficiency between December...
متن کاملSpectrum of beta-thalassaemia mutations in transfusion dependent thalassaemia patients: practical implications in prenatal diagnosis.
The study concerned the identification of the beta-thalassaemia mutations that were present in 24 patients with beta-thalassaemia major who were transfusion dependent. The application of a modified polymerase chain reaction, the amplification refractory system (ARMS) was found to be an effective and rapid method for the identification of the beta-thalassaemia mutations. Six different mutations ...
