Alloimmunization against human platelet antigen 2 (HPA2) in a series of multi-transfused beta-thalassemia patients.
In our study we investigated the presence of anti-human platelet antigen (HPA) alloantibodies in a series of 10 beta-thalassemia major patients submitted for more than 10 years to periodic blood transfusions (every 2-3 weeks). We found that 2 out of the 10 patients developed anti-HPA2a + HPA1b and anti-HPA2b antibodies. Our results highlight that HPA alloimmunization in multitransfused patients...
متن کاملRed Blood Cells Alloimmunization and Autoimmunization in Multi-transfused Thalassemia Patients in South of Iran
Background: Recurrent blood transfusion is a common treatment in patients with thalassemia. The development of antibodies against red blood cell (RBC) antigens complicates RBC cross-matching, enhances the in vivo destruction of transfused cells, accelerates tissue iron overloading, delays the provision of safe transfusion, and reduces health-related quality of life. Materials and Methods: In t...
متن کاملSeroprevalence of hepatitis C virus markers in multi-transfused children with beta-thalassemia
Background To study the seroprevalence of hepatitis C virus in multi-transfused children with b-thalassemia and compared with non transfused children and healthy controls. b-thalassemic children fail to thrive, with growth and developmental retardation and suffer microcytic hypochromic anemia. Since regular blood transfusions are given to maintain haemoglobin at a safe level, these children are...
متن کاملInsulin resistance and beta cell function in chronically transfused patients of thalassemia major.
OBJECTIVE To assess the glycometabolic function in chronically transfused patients of beta- thalassemia major in terms of glucose tolerance, insulin secretion, insulin resistance index, and beta cell function index and to determine their relationship with clinical and biochemical profile. METHODS 30 homozygous thalassemia major children (aged 8-15 years) receiving regular blood transfusion an...
متن کاملEndocrine Disorders in Beta thalassemia Major Patients
Background Thalassemia is the most common hereditary disorder worldwide. The patient's’ survival is dependent on lifetime blood transfusion which leads to iron overload and its toxicity on various organs including endocrine glands. The study aimed to investigate endocrine disorders in patients with Beta-thalassemia major in the Southern Khorasan province, Iran. Materials and Methods In this des...
