Beta-thalassemia minor (BTM) patients usually experience fatigue, bone pain complaint, and muscle weakness. Carnitine is an essential protein for transportation of long-chain fatty acids to the matrix for beta-oxidation. BTM patients have abnormally low plasma carnitine concentrations, which results
Patients with beta-thalassemia major (BTM) suffer from fatigue, poor physical fitness, muscle weakness, lethargy, and cardiac complications which are related to an energy crisis. Carnitine and acylcarnitine derivatives play important roles in fatty acid oxidation, and deregulation of carnitine and
Background: Although fatigue is the most important symptom of Sickle Cell Disease, the extent of it is unknown, and causal mechanisms are not well understood. This article explores biopsychosocial characteristics that can potentially contribute to fatigue in SCD. Materials and Methods: This
BACKGROUND
There is no published data of treating hepatitis C in thalassemia major patients with any sofosbuvir based direct acting antivirals (DAAs). This study was performed to determine the efficacy and safety of these regimes using generic drugs in the thalassemia major population.
METHODS
In
A 52-year-old woman presented with recurrent episodes of chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, and fatigue for three months. Her past medical history was significant for chronic anemia. Physical examination revealed a pansystolic murmur radiating to the left axilla. Her admission workup
Clinical, hematologic and hemoglobin composition data on the first case of Hb 0-Arab in association with beta 0-thalassemia in Yugoslavia are reported here. The propositus was a 26-years-old female from Strumica who was admitted to the hospital for several times because of anemia,
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
We aimed to investigate whether the severity of fatigue and the incidences of depression and anxiety of patients with beta thalassemia minor (BTm) are different than healthy individuals using Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) BTm patients who were followed
The coinheritance of beta-thalassemia major with the genotype of Hb H disease is extremely rare, with few reported cases. We investigated the hematological, biochemical, biosynthetic, molecular and pathophysiological parameters to evaluate a rare male patient with this compound syndrome. The patient
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis in a patient with beta thalassemia major secondary to treatment with deferasirox due to iron overload.
METHODS
A 58-year-old white female with beta thalassemia major was admitted with fever, fatigue, abnormal liver function test
Deferiprone, also known as L1, is an orally active iron chelator that has been studied extensively in clinical trials. The sporadic occurrence of agranulocytosis in association with deferiprone and the highly variable frequency of other possible side effects such as arthralgia have created
ABSTRACT Genetically modified rice that incorporates twofold to threefold increased amounts of iron is being developed. The product could provide improved nutrition to iron-deficient persons but may be a health hazard to large numbers of humans who are prone to iron overload. Clinical disorders such
This placebo-controlled phase II study evaluated the pharmacodynamics, efficacy and safety of 2,2-dimethylbutyrate (HQK-1001), a fetal globin gene-inducing short-chain fatty acid derivative, administered orally at 15 mg/kg twice daily for 48 weeks in 76 subjects with sickle cell disease (SCD). The
The iron deficiency is the first cause of anaemia. In healthy young adult, anemia is well tolerated because of its progressive installation. The most common symptoms of anemia are pallor, fatigue and dyspnea. In biological exams, anemia is classically associated with microcytosis and hypochromia.
OBJECTIVE
Iron overload unexplained by dietary or medicinal iron excess, transfusion, or sideroblastic anemia has been described infrequently in Americans of African descent. The purpose of this study was to characterize iron overload attributable to excessive iron absorption in African
