Abstract
Relation between Red cell distribution width and Early Atherosclerosis in patients with Beta Thalassemia
Highlights
Red cell distribution width (RDW) is a standard parameter of the complete blood count (CBC) and indicates variability in red blood cell (RBC) size; red cell distribution width (RDW) is Conventional treatment of the patients with β-thalassemia major is repeated blood transfusions
Repeated blood transfusions and chronic hemolysis in patients with thalassemia leads to iron overload and one of its complications is atherosclerosis
Hematological markers like red cell distribution width (RDW) may correlate with the early atherosclerosis. our study aimed to Relation between Red cell distribution width and Early Atherosclerosis in patients with Beta Thalassemia
