Non-invasive Sampling for Assessment of Oxidative Stress and Pro-inflammatory Cytokine Levels in Beta-Thalassaemia Major Patients

Non-invasive Sampling for Assessment of Oxidative Stress and Pro-inflammatory Cytokine Levels in Beta-Thalassaemia Major Patients

Background: Beta-thalassaemia (β-thalassaemia) major patients are severely anaemic and require life-long blood transfusions for survival. These patients require iron-chelation therapy as a result of iron overload due to the monthly blood transfusions. The iron over load can cause oxidative damage an...
