hypothyroidism and serum ferritin level in patients with major ß thalassemia
Authors
abstract
abstract introduction major ß thalassemia represents a group of recessively inherited hemoglobin disorder, which is characterized by reduced synthesis of globins chains. frequent blood transfusions can lead to iron overload, which may result in several endocrine complication especially in the absence of adequate chelating therapy. the objective of this study were to determine the prevalence of hypothyroidism in transfusion dependent thalassemia patients treated in the hematology unit of shahid sadoughy hospital and determination of the correlation of hypothyroidism with the ferritin level. methods this study was cross-sectional study which was performed during one year. sixty five patients, ages between 1.2 years to 27years old entered to this study (47.6%female and 52.4%male) for all of the patients t3-t4-t3rup, tsh and ferritin level were tested. results the mean age of the patients was 10.3 years (47.6% above 10years and 52.4% under 10years old). this study demonstrated that fourteen patients (21%) had hypothyroidism (1.5%overt low t4 and high tsh), which 7.6% was sub clinical (normal t4and high tsh and 12.3% secondary hypothyroidism) in other study prevalence hypothyroidism was 2.2%-16.5%. there was no correlation between hypothyroidism and serum ferritin level (p-value= 0.38) conclusion the high rate of hypothyroidism indicates the importance of regular follow up of thalassemia patients to prevent complications.

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...

Background: Thalassemia major (TM) is one of the most common hereditary anemia with multiple endocrinopathies (especially hypogonadism). So, we evaluated the rate of delayed puberty (DP) and its relation with serum ferritin level in patients. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional (descriptive-analytical) study was conducted on 100 patients with TM between 14-64 years old, admitted to Amir...

Abstract Background Prevention of myocardial siderosis is a key step to reduce rate of mortality in thalassemic patients. Our objective was to study association between echocardiography parameters and serum ferritin level in patients with major thalassemia. Materials and Methods Sixty-six patients with major thalassemia were studied in Amir Kabir hospital, Arak, Iran. Serum ferritin levels ...
full textAssociation of Body mass index and serum ferritin level in pediatrics with Beta-thalassemia major disease
Background: Beta-thalassemia major is a type of inherited blood disease that results in variable outcomes such as severe anemia due to haemoglobin chains. Recurrent and lifelong blood transfusions as a treatment in beta-thalassemia major disease lead to iron deposition in various organs and cause the failure of multiple organs. Failure of affected organs leads to Body mass index (BMI) abnormali...
full textRelation between bone mineral density and serum ferritin levels in patients with thalassemia major
Background: Thalassemia/haemoglobinopathy is a hereditary disease with increased erythropoiesis and expansion of the bone marrow cavity. Consequently, there is a reduction in trabecular bone tissue resulting in osteopenia/osteoporosis. The present study was performed to determine bone mineral density (BMD) in children and adolescents with major thalassemia and its correlation with serum fer...
