Evaluation of Serum Insulin, Glucose and Liver Function in β-Thalassemia Major and Their Correlation with Iron Overload
Background: Beta-thalassemia syndromes are a set of hereditary blood disorders marked by a deficiency of beta-globin chain synthesis, resultant in decrease hemoglobin in red blood cells [RBC], anemia, and a reduced RBC production Aim of the work: To evaluate glycometabolic and liver function in case...
