Beta thalassemia is a blood disorder that reduces the production of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the iron-containing protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to cells throughout the body. In people with beta thalassemia, low levels of hemoglobin lead to a lack of oxygen in many parts of the body.
Gall bladder status among children with chronic haemolytic anemia attending to Assuit University Children Hospital Hemolysis is defined as the premature destruction of red blood cells (RBCs) (a shortened RBC life span). Anemia results when the rate of destruction exceeds the capacity of the marrow
INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is characterized by deficiencies in blood cell production that can lead to anemia, which may necessitate regular transfusions of red blood cells (RBCs) as supportive therapy. While this treatment can be life-saving, since the body has no
A human lymphocyte antigen (HLA)-matched sibling donor will receive filgrastim (G-CSF) 10 to16 µg/kg/d subcutaneously or intravenously for up to 6 days with apheresis collections of PBPC on day 5 (and day 6 if required). The product will be collected by leukophoresis with a goal of ≥ 10 x 106 CD34+
The immune system plays an important role in the fight against cancer. According to certain studies, Levels of cytokines secreted by the immune cells were found as predictors of prognosis and survival among cancer patients, as well as disease recurrence1. Pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-6,
The two most important causes of iron overload disease in humans are the iron-loading disorder hereditary hemochromatosis (HC), and transfusional siderosis in patients with chronic hematological diseases like myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), thalassemia, and leukemia.
Hemochromatosis. In HC the
Introduction: Individuals exposed to red blood cell (RBC) alloantigens through transfusion, pregnancy, or transplantation may produce antibodies against the alloantigens expressed by RBCs. Although the incidence of these events is debated and ranges between percentages of 1-6% in single transfused
Study population:
1. Beta-thalassemia major patients; Patients with high iron stores Serum ferritin consistently > 2500 mcg/l and or increasing trend over previous 12 months Liver iron >14 mg/g dry weight- by R2 MRI
2. Other causes of transfusional hemosiderosis
Estimated Enrollment: 30 patients in
About 100 patients aged several months to 50 years are treated in the Pediatric Hematology Unit, most of those patients receive blood transfusions monthly. The adverse reactions were routinely recorded during each transfusion. All the patients were also screened annually for the incidence of blood
The actual protocol for SCA patients admitted with fever is to obtain blood cultures and start empiric antibiotic treatment.
The study cohort included 60 SCA patients actually treated in the Pediatric Hematology Unit.
Hemoglobin (Hb) and red blood cell (RBC) polymorphisms that give rise to HbS, HbC, alpha-thalassemia, G6PD-deficiency, and ABO blood groups occur at high frequency in Mali. To determine whether these Hb/RBC polymorphisms are associated with protection against mild malaria and malaria-associated
