Evaluation of Twenty Four Discriminant Indices for Differentiating Beta-Thalassemia Trait from Iron Deficiency Anemia in Egyptians

Background: Many Red Blood Cell (RBC) indices have been developed based on mathematical formulae to discriminate beta-thalassemia trait (βTT) from iron deficiency anemia (IDA). The latter two conditions represent the most common causes of microcytic hypochromic anemia in Egypt. This study aimed To evaluate the diagnostic reliability of 24 published discriminant indices for differentiating βTT f...

Diagnostic reliability check of red cell indices in differentiating Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) from Beta Thalassemia Minor (BTT)

Introduction: Iron deficiency anemia and beta-thalassemia trait are the two most common causes of hypochromic microcytic anemia. There are some discriminating functions (DFs) formula to differentiate these two conditions based on RBC's indices which would be compared the validity of the 14 various indices in this study. Correspond...

Erythrocyte Catalase Activity in More Frequent Microcytic Hypochromic Anemia: Beta-Thalassemia Trait and Iron Deficiency Anemia

Most common microcytic hypochromic anemias are iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and β-thalassemia trait (BTT), in which oxidative stress (OxS) has an essential role. Catalase causes detoxification of H2O2 in cells, and it is an indispensable antioxidant enzyme. The study was designed to measure erythrocyte catalase activity (ECAT) in patients with IDA (10) or BTT (21), to relate it with thalassemia...

Differentiation of beta thalassemia trait from iron deficiency anemia by hematological indices

OBJECTIVE We aimed at finding out reliable parameter in the differentiation of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and beta-thalassemia trait (β-TT) in the adult population subjected to Saudi Arabian Premarital Screening Program. METHODS A total of 620 adults (age range 21-36 years) reported during February 2012 to November 2012. Tests for serum iron and ferritin were carried out in individuals show...

Iron deficiency anemia, beta-thalassemia minor, and anemia of chronic disease: a morphologic reappraisal.

We observed increased numbers of an infrequently referenced poikilocyte, the prekeratocyte, in iron deficiency anemia (IDA) compared with beta-thalassemia minor and anemia of chronic disease (ACD) and, therefore, chose to quantify these cells and other morphologic features in these anemias. Prekeratocytes were observed in 31 (78%) of 40 IDAs vs 11 (37%) of 30 beta-thalassemias (P = .001) and 5 ...
