Beta-thalassaemia major

Synopsis: 
Beta-thalassaemia major patients require monthly blood transfusions. Studies on the oxidant-antioxidant indices in patients on desferrioxamine-chelation or without chelation indicate that desferrioxamine chelation does not normalize ferritin level but attenuates oxidative damage and improves total antioxidant level in these patients.
