“…β-TM patients showed also significantly higher levels of cystatin C, a sensitive marker of glomerular dysfunction and an early sign of renal impairment [11][12][13]. Finally, in β-TM patients, renal involvement encompasses tumorigenesis and cyst development, but for both of these, the underlying molecular basis has been hypothesized but not elucidated [13,14].…”

“…The patient with thalassemia presenting to the ED with acute back pain should be evaluated for the presence of neurological deficits [10,61,62]. The presence of focal motor or sensory deficits with or without urinary retention or bowel incontinence raises the suspicion for cord compression by extramedullary hematopoietic lesions or an acute vertebral fracture [61,63,64]. Presence of neurological deficits should prompt urgent consultation of a neurologist, neurosurgeon, and potentially a radiation oncologist.…”
