Abstract:   (4426 Views)
100 patients with beta-thalassemia trait, comprised of 55 men and 45 women, participated in a study to measure serum lipoproteins. The results were compared with the data obtained from 100 control subjects of the same age and sex. A significantly lower level of mean serum total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol, and a much higher level of HDL cholesterol were obtained in beta-thalassemia trait as compared to control groups. This study was carried out in order to find the effect of mild hemolysis on serum lipid composition.
Keywords: Beta-thalassemia, Serum lipoproteins, Chronic hemolysis.
