Abstract: (4225 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.
