Osteoporosis-osteopenia syndrome in children with transfusion dependent thalassemia
Background Osteoporosis-osteopenia syndrome (OOS) is found in more than 50% of thalassemia patients worldwide [1,2]. Despite appropriate management, thalassemics continue to exhibit a decrease in bone mass due to the multifactorial pathogenesis of OOS in thalassemia [3]. Therefore, this study aims to obtain an insight on the thalassemia patients' perception of OOS and possible lifestyle contrib...
متن کاملBone density in transfusion dependent thalassemia patients in Urmia, Iran
Background Patients with thalassemia major and intermedia are susceptible to osteopenia and osteoporosis. The mechanism of osteoporosis in these patients is multifactorial. Transfusion related iron overload in endocrine organs leads to impaired growth hormone secretion, diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, hypoparathyroidism, lack of sex steroids and vitamin D deficiency that contribute t...
متن کاملPrevalence of Alloantibodies and Autoantibodies in Transfusion Dependent Thalassemia Patients
Background: The development of anti-red blood cell alloantibodies remains a major problem in transfusion of blood in thalassemia major patients. Also, Autoantibodies can result in clinical hemolysis and difficulty in cross-matching blood. We studied the frequency of red blood cell alloimmunization and autoimmunization among thalassemia patients who received regular transfusions in Ilam province...
متن کاملExtramedullary Hematopoiesis in a Patient with Transfusion Dependent Beta-Thalassemia Presenting with Cord Compression
Extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) is a physiological compensatory phenomenon occurring in many hemolytic anemias including thalassemia. Besides transfusion, radiotherapy, surgery or a combination of these modalities, hydroxyurea (HU) as an optimal treatment has been described occasionally. We described a case of beta-thalassemia major who has been on regular blood transfusion and developed EMH...
متن کاملMolecular Spectrum of Beta-Globin Mutations in Transfusion-Dependent Patients with Thalassemia in Qazvin Province, Iran
Background: Beta thalassemia is a common inherited disease, resulting from one or more of 200 different mutations in the beta-globin gene. Qazvin province has attracted migrations of several different populations due to industrialization during the past five decades. The aim of this study was to define the molecular spectrum of beta-thalassemia mutations in Qazvin province. Methods: Ethylen dia...
