Iron 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 کاملRDWI 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 کاملArthritis in beta thalassaemia trait: clinical and pathological features.
A 33-year-old white female of English descent with beta thalassaemia trait developed painful recurring bilateral knee effusion at age 15 years. Trauma was denied. Synovial analyses revealed noninflammatory effusions with normal complement, no inclusions, and no crystals. Knee x-rays normal at ages 18 and 26, showed mild osteoarthritic changes at age 33. Laboratory tests for other known causes o...
متن کاملAlpha and beta cell evaluation in patients with thalassaemia intermedia and iron overload.
Insulin and glucagon secretion were studied during an oral glucose tolerance test and arginine infusion in 11 patients with thalassaemia intermedia, who showed laboratory evidence of iron overload. Mean blood glucose concentrations in patients with thalassaemia intermedia were significantly higher than normal and 3 of 11 patients had impaired glucose tolerance. The principal abnormality appears...
متن کاملIron overload in Beta thalassaemia major and intermedia patients.
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND In beta thalassaemia major multiple blood transfusions, ineffective erythropoiesis and increased gastrointestinal iron absorption lead to iron overload in the body. Iron overload impairs the immune system, placing patients at greater risk of infection and illness. Iron overload can be determined by serum ferritin measurement. OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study is to...
