Risk factors for iron metabolic disorders in newly diagnosed B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients

Abstract

Due to the importance of increasing the incidence conditions of B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) that requiring accurate knowledge of the biology behind the pathogenesis and risks of this disease of each individual patient, this study was designed to investigate if hormonal alterations such as Hepcidin, Erythropoietin, and oxidant-antioxidant status may be useful in the understanding of B-CLL development in addition the relationship of these parameters with anemia in advance clinical stage in newly diagnosed patients with B-CLL. This study was conducted on 60 newly diagnosed patients with B-CLL and 30 control group .The socio-demographic information including (age and sex) and clinical data were collected for the period from 20 February until 25 December 2021. The result of the present study showed that out of the 60 newly diagnosed B-CLL patients, 39 was male and 21 was females, with the mean age ( 64.04 ± 5.6 ) years and out of the 30 controls group ,12 was males and 18 was females with the mean age of ( 63.33 ± 4.70) years .therefore, it was a higher prevalence p value ≤0.05 of newly diagnosed B-CLL patients in males (65.0 %) compare to females (35.0 % ).
