Abstract

Thalassemia is an inherited autosomal recessive blood disorder. Early and regular blood transfusion therapy in patients with homozygous β- thalassemia decreases the complications of sever anemia and prolongs suvival but the beneficial effects of trausfusion are limited by organ damage from iron overload. Well chelated patients are fertile. Non chelated patients suffer from hypogonadism.
