Bone Mineral Density among adolescent's patients with β-thalassemia major.

Bone Mineral Density among adolescent's patients with β-thalassemia major.

Background:Beta-thalassemia is an autosomal recessivehemoglobinopathy with frequent skeletal complications, often debilitating in adolescent patients. We aim to evaluate the bone mineral density (BMD) by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and ascertain osteoporosis/osteopenia freque...
