This study was conducted to determine L-carnitine levels in regularly transfused and chelated beta thalassemia patients (n=40; mean age, 17.5±5.0 years).Ten age matched controls were also studied. The mean L-carnitine level in thalassemic patients was 23.71±7.3 µM as compared to control 29.26±2.37µM (P<0.0001). Mean Carnitine was significantly lower (P=0.037) in those with ferritin greater than...
Objective To evaluate osteopathy in thalassemia by bone mineral densitometry (BMD) and biochemical indices. Methods Prospective review analysis with no follow up from 2006 to 2007 of 42 regularly transfused thalassemics aged 10–25 years (27 boys, 15 girls) was done.
