Article Synopsis
- Children with transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT) experience complications like iron overload and zinc deficiency, affecting their pancreas functions.
- The study involved 80 TDT-affected children and assessed their zinc and ferritin levels, along with tests for pancreatic function.
- Results showed that low zinc levels were linked to worse pancreatic function and that higher iron (ferritin levels) worsened these effects, highlighting the need for monitoring and addressing zinc deficiency in TDT patients.
