The Relation between Serum Hepcidin, Ferritin, Hepcidin: Ferritin Ratio, Hydroxyurea and Splenectomy in Children with β-Thalassemia

BACKGROUND: Hepcidin, a small peptide hormone, is established as the main regulator of iron homeostasis. AIM: To estimate serum hepcidin, ferritin, and hepcidin: ferritin ratio in β-thalassemia patients and to determine the effect of splenectomy and hydroxyurea on serum hepcidin. METHODS: A study wa...
