| Popis: | Background: Beta-thalassemia is the most prevalent genetic hemoglobin apathy in the world. It is caused by a reduction or absence of beta-globin chain production, which is typically a portion of adult hemoglobin (HbA, which is α2β2). This genetic anomaly will lead to a rapid erythrocyte turnover, severe anemia, and compensatory ineffective erythropoiesis. The purpose of the current research is to reveal diagnostic, and predictive biomarkers that can be performed to detect the decline in renal function in β-thalassemia major patients with early stage renal impairment with high sensitivity and specificity, ascertain changes in B2-microglobulin as a biomarker in β-thalassemia patient. Objective: The samples were collected from Karama Hospital-Genetic Hematology Center/Baghdad during the period from the 1st of September 2022 until the 1st of January 2023. Methods: The patient group consisted of 45 patients with β-thalassemia major with repeated blood transfusion and the control group consisted of 45 individuals who seemed to be healthy. Age ranged between (18-35) years (for patients and control). The serum samples were used to measure biochemical parameters, S.Creatinine, blood urea, and Urine B2-microglobulin were measured from urine samples. B2-microglobulin level in Urine was estimated by Sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique, while serum Blood Urea and Serum Creatinine concentration were calculated by Colorimetric Kit by Spectrophotometer method, and Ferritin level in blood was estimated by BioMrieux Mini Vidas. Results: The statistical examination was carried out using SPSS software. B2-microglobulin biomarkers in the thalassemia Patient group were significantly higher than those in the control group (p |
