The hypercoagulable state in thalassemia
Abstract
Thalassemia is a congenital hemolytic disorder caused by a partial or complete deficiency of α- or β-globin chain synthesis. Homozygous carriers of β-globin gene defects suffer from severe anemia and other serious complications from early childhood. The disease is treated by chronic blood transfusion. However, this can cause severe iron overload resulting in progressive organ failure. Some forms of α thalassemia are also associated with a similar clinical picture. Despite the difficulties associated with treatment, standards of care for thalassemic patients have improved in recent years, resulting in almost doubling of the average life expectancy. As a consequence, additional previously undescribed, complications are now being recognized. In particular, profound hemostatic changes have been observed in patients with β-thalassemia major (β-TM) and β-thalassemia intermedia (β-TI) and also in patients with α thalassemia (hemoglobin H disease). The presence of a higher than normal incidence of thromboembolic events, mainly in β-TI, and the existence of prothrombotic hemostatic anomalies in the majority of the patients, even from a very young age, have led to the recognition of the existence of a chronic hypercoagulable state in thalassemic patients. Despite the appearance of numerous publications on the frequent occurrence of thromboembolic complications in thalassemia, this complication has not been emphasized or comprehensively reviewed. This review summarizes the current literature and discusses possible mechanisms of the lifelong hypercoagulable state that exists in thalassemia.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
