Objectives: To evaluate the relationship between trace elements and thalassemia.
Methodology: This is a case control study involving fifteen - samples of patients suffering from Beta Thalassemia. The patient's samples were collected from Al-Sadder Hospital center / Najaf -Ashraf among October /2021 to December/2021. This study also involved fifteen volunteers served as control group. Both patients and the control group are informed about the study.
Results: In comparison to controls, men and females had a highly significant drop (P0.001) in HHCT) and HGBThe iron and ferritin were increased significantly, while trace elements (zinc and copper) were decreased.
Conclusion: Patients with thalassemia are at a Due to deposited iron in the organs, there is a higher risk of iron overloading and tissue damage. The results demonstrate a highly significant rise in ferritin in the major and intermedia, but no differences in the minor when compared to the controls.
