Evaluation Of Early Glomerulopathy And Tubulopathy In Patients With Transfusion Dependent Thalassemia

Background: We have less information about renal injury in patients with transfusion dependent ß thalassemia (TDT).Cystatin C (Cys-C) is a marker to predict glomerular dysfunction with higher sensitivity and specificity than serum creatinine. Asymptomatic renal tubular dysfunction demonstrated in patients with Beta-thalassaemia who receive deferasirox although age and dose-dependent toxicity profile could not be fully understood.
