Serum soluble transferrin receptor concentration as a biomarker of erythropoietic activity: surrogate marker of adequate transfusion in adult Beta-thalassaemia intermedia patients

Management of Beta (β)-thalassaemia intermedia in contrast to β-thalassaemia major patients has no clear guidelines as to indicators of adequate transfusion. Regular blood transfusion suppresses bone marrow erythropoietic activity. Serum soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) concentration is a marker...
