Bone mineral density and calcium metabolism in adolescents with beta-thalassemia major.

Pediatric endocrinology reviews : PER - 1 Oct 2008

Abstract excerpt

Bone disease in thalassemia in the form of low bone mass remains a frequent, debilitating and poorly understood problem, even among well transfused and chelated pre-pubertal and adult patients. In this work we attempted to delineate calcium status and bone mineral density in a group of transfusion dependent thalassemic adolescents of both sexes. Bone mineral density (BMD) at both the lumbar spine and femoral neck...
