Abstract:Background: Kidney injury (KI) is one of the complications of β-thalassemia patients. Objectives: To determine the rate of KI and its relationship with plasma ferritin and CRP-hs in β-thalassemia patients. Methods: A total of 142 patients diagnosed with β-thalassemia (58.5% minor, 17.6% intermedia, and 23.9% major) were included in our study. In all patients, we measured plasma ferritin, CRP-hs, urine albumin, and serum creatinine and calculated the urine albumin to creatinine ratio (uACR). Based on uACR, we d… Show more
