... mortality in HD patients. Hemodialysis (HD) patients have a poorer prognosis than the general population [ 1,2,3 ]. Various studies have identified risk factors related to HD patient mortality, including single-pool Kt/V [ 4 ], phosphorus, calcium [ 5 ], albumin [ 6 ], anemia [ 7 ], blood access...

... with the milder phenotype, β-thalassemia intermedia (TI), remain largely transfusion and iron chelation independent while enduring a chronic hemolytic anemia and primary iron overload. Data on renal function in patients with TI is lacking. Methods: In this cross-sectional study of 50 TI patients, we evaluated...
