Usefulness of red blood cell size factor (RSf) in screening genetic variants of alpha thalassaemia thalassaemia trait regardless of iron status
Introduction: Screening for alpha (α) thalassaemia trait (TT) is challenging especially in the presence of iron deficiency (ID). Red blood cell size factor (RSf) is a parameter introduced by Beckman Coulter capable of detecting acute and chronic changes to cellular haemoglobin status and iron supply...
