diagnostic value of fructosamine and glycosylated hemoglobin in estimating blood glucose level in diabetic patients with thalassemia major
Authors
abstract
abstract background and objective: diabetes mellitus is one of complications that thalassemia major patients face with. hence, blood glucose monitoring is of vital importance to these patients. because of high level of fetal hemoglobin in these patients, the measurement of hemoglobin a1c is not reliable and should be displaced by fructosamine test. material and methods: the current descriptive study was carried out on 33 beta-thalassemia major patients afflicted with diabetes mellitus (21 female and 12 male cases). blood glucose level, fructosamine, hemoglobin a1c, serum ferritin and fetal hemoglobin were measured. results: blood glucose levels are 204±103 mg/dl and 221±101 mg/dl (p=0.63) fetal hemoglobin levels are 9%±7% and 13%±9% (p=0.22) serum ferritin levels are 1744±1534 ng/ml and 3253±1773 ng/ml (p=0.96) in female and male patients, respectively. the level of fructosamine (42±124 mmol/l) and glycosylated hemoglobin (8.9%±1.8%) are correlated significantly (r=0.69, p<0.01). both hemoglobin a1c (r=0.75, p<0.01) and fructosamine (r=0.54, p<0/01) show a significant correlation with blood glucose level. conclusion: in diabetic thalassemia major patients with frequent blood transfusion, the level of fructosamine and glycosylated hemoglobin are related significantly, therefore they can be used alternatively. keywords: thalassemia major fructosamine hemoglobin a1c diabetes mellitus

Variations of blood glucose level in non-diabetic patients before and after Electroconvulsive Therapy
Introduction: Application of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for the induction of generalized seizure was first introduced in 1938. It is applied for disorders as severe depression particularly for cases which do not respond to drug therapy, or during pregnancy when medication is detrimental to the fetus. The debate on the effect of ECT on blood glucose level is still contradictory. However, st...

full textRed Blood Cell Alloimmunization in Patients with Thalassemia Major and Intermediate in Southwest Iran
Background: Transfusion is the mainstay treatment of patients with thalassemia major and occasionally in thalassemia intermediate. Alloimmunization is an unwanted side effect of blood transfusion. The present study intended to determine the frequency of alloimmunization in patients with β- thalassemia major and thalassemia intermediate in Southwest Iran. Patients and Methods: This was a cross-...
full textEvaluation of the Relationship between Serum Ferritin Level and Renal Function in Patients with Thalassemia Major
Background and Aim: Serum ferritin in patients with thalassemia major is an indicator of iron overload, which is the main cause of damage to various organs of the body in patients with thalassemia major. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between serum ferritin level and renal function in thalassemia major patients. Materials and Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectio...
