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.
In Egypt beta thalassemia-major is the most common type with carrier rate of 5.3 to ≥9%and 1000 new cases born with beta-thalassemia major per 1.5 million live births per year.
Children born with thalassemia major are normal at birth, but develop severe hemolytic anemia during the first year of
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
This is a trial of an experimental oral medicine which stimulates production of fetal hemoglobin, an innate type of hemoglobin which is normally made but is suppressed in infancy. Fetal globin (HbF) can perform the function of the missing beta globin and reduce anemia in beta thalassemia, when it is
Background Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is increasingly used as a treatment for a variety of malignant and non-malignant conditions. With improvements in conditioning regimens and post-transplant care, more HSCT recipients are becoming long-term survivors and therefore increasing
In dialysis patients the degree of anemia is highly correlated to both morbidity and mortality. A drop in Hb by 10 g/L translates into an increase in the rate of hospitalizations of 5 to 6 % and a rise in mortality by 4 to 5 %. The past two decades have seen great progress in the treatment of renal
