Relationship between serum ferritin levels and hepatic and renal function parameters in patients with transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia major: a hospital-based cross-sectional study
Background: Transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia major requires lifelong blood transfusions, resulting in iron overload and hepatic and renal complications. Serum ferritin is widely used as a surrogate marker of body iron stores. This study evaluated serum ferritin levels and their association with hepatic and renal fun...
