To determine the efficacy and adverse effects of oral chelation therapy (deferasirox) in multi-transfused β-thalassemia major patients visiting pediatric thalassemia clinic in Civil Hospital Karachi.
METHODS
This prospective study was conducted at pediatric thalassemia clinic of Civil
In patients with b-thalassemia major (TM), the anterior pituitary gland is particularly sensitive to free radical stresses. It has been reported that the GH deficiency (GHD) may be secondary to either pituitary or hypothalamic dysfunction. The duration of the disease, the patient's age and the

β-thalassemia major patients are susceptible to Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection owing to life-long dependency for blood-transfusion. Moreover, this patient population is at risk of progression of liver fibrosis or development of cirrhosis as a consequence of both iron overload and HCV
It appears that delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions may occur several days after the administration of donor red cells is true even though they have been shown to be compatible in cross match tests by the antiglobulin technique. A specific case was observed in our center, which confirms the
UNASSIGNED
Due to the chronic nature of chelation therapy and the adverse consequences of iron overload, patient adherence to therapy is an important issue. Jadenu ® is a new oral formulation of deferasirox (Exjade ®) tablets for oral suspension. While Exjade® is a dispersible tablet that must be

BACKGROUND
Osteoporosis represents the second most common cause of endocrinopathy in patients with beta thalassemia major (BTM). Some drugs proved effective to reduce vertebral and non-vertebral fracture risk. Denosumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody to the receptor activator of nuclear factor
BACKGROUND
Iron chelation therapy is an important component in the management of patients with β-thalassemia.
METHODS
The study included 87 children with transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia aged 2-17 years (mean, 8.2 ± 4.1 years), 49 (56%) of whom were male. The patients received deferasirox 9-40
OBJECTIVE
Deferasirox (ICL670) is a novel once-daily oral iron chelator developed for the treatment of chronic iron overload from blood transfusions. This study evaluated the safety and tolerability of deferasirox in pediatric patients with transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia major. Efficacy and

METHODS
Reviewers searched the following databases for English-language
Patients with β-thalassemia require lifelong iron chelation therapy from early childhood to prevent complications associated with transfusional iron overload. To evaluate long-term efficacy and safety of once-daily oral iron chelation with deferasirox, patients aged ≥ 2 years who completed a 1-year,
