Descrizione:
Aim of this study was to assess NTBI total content in patients with β-thalassemia using a new high-throughput technology, named FeROS™ LPI and eLPI kit. We wanted to test the feasibility of a single method that may simultaneously provide information on the two major fractions of NTBI, with and without overt redox activity, namely respectively LPI and eLPI. The objective of this work was also to verify if this marker may have an additive value compared to traditional indicators of iron overload, with potential pathophysiological and clinical implications.
