abstract

background beta-thalassemia is the most common hematology disease in human and leptin is one of the hormone that produce by adiposities cells. the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between serum leptin level and thyroid hormones in children with major beta-thalassemia. materials and methods this descriptive-cross sectional study was performed on 90 children aged 6-16 years old with beta-thalassemia. body mass index (bmi ) were meuseurd in all patients and then, after collecting the samples, leptin and thyroid hormones levels of the serum were measured in the patients with thalassemia via elisa method. then, all data was analyzed by pearson correlation test, and x2 statistical tests and p < 0.05 was considered as a significant difference. results the mean of body mass index and serum leptin level in the patients group was 16.58±2.43 and 1.521 ±2. 49, respectively. the mean serum levels of thyroxin (t4), triiodothyronine (t3), and thyroid- stimulating hormone (tsh) in patient's groups were7.94 ±3.56, 1.28 ± 0.46, and 2.85 ±3. 44, respectively. there was significant correlation between serum leptin levels and t4 in patients with major thalassemia also there was no significant correlation between serum leptin level and t3and tsh. there was a significant correlation was between the leptin serum level and bmi in patients (p value=0.008). conclusion the results of this study demonstrated that in patients with major thalassemia, there was significant correlation between serum leptin level and thyroxin hormone. leptin level has more relationship with thyroxin than thyroid- stimulating hormone.

The Correlation between Serum Level of Leptin and Troponin in Children with Major Beta-Thalassemia

BACKGROUND Polypeptide hormone Leptin suppresses inflammation in the heart muscle and protects heart from diseases. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between leptin and troponin serum levels with cardiac involvement in patients with major beta thalassemia. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this cross-sectional study, 70 children with major thalassemia were selected. Two ml bloo...

Serum Antioxidant Levels in Children with Beta-Thalassemia Major

Background: Thalassemia represents a serious health problem in Iran because of its heterogeneous frequency and the existing endogamy system. It is an inherited blood disease characterized by the under production of normal hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells. Materials and Methods: In this study, serum antioxidants including selenium (Se), zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) were m...

Correlation between Mean Serum Ferritin Levels and Atrial Electrocardiographic Markers in Beta-Thalassemia Major

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in patients with β-thalassemia major (β-TM) due to cardiac iron overload. AF may be predicted by changes in P wave parameters. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between P-wave parameters and atrial markers with mean serum ferritin levels measured yearly. Methods: Fifty patients with β-TM and 50 healthy subje...
