Background: A good survival rate among patients with beta thalassemia major (beta-TM) has led to the appearance of an unrecognized renal disease. Therefore, we aimed to assess the role of serum cystatin-C as a promising marker for the detection of renal glomerular dysfunction and N-acetyl beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) and kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1) as potential markers for the detection of renal tubular injury in beta-TM children.

Methods: This case-control study was implemented on 100 beta-TM children receiving regular blood transfusions and undergoing iron chelation therapy and 100 healthy children as a control group.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Nahla Ms Abd El Hady"

  • - Nahla Ms Abd El Hady's research primarily focuses on evaluating renal dysfunction in pediatric patients, particularly children with beta thalassemia major, a hereditary blood disorder.
  • - One of her key studies investigates the utility of serum cystatin-C, N-acetyl beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), and kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1) as biomarkers for early detection of renal glomerular and tubular injuries in these patients.
  • - The findings suggest a concerning prevalence of subclinical renal dysfunction in beta thalassemia major patients, highlighting the need for regular renal assessments and interventions in this population.
