Salih Ehsan: Key Diagnostic Clues in Thalassemia Minor
Salih Ehsan, Chief Executive Officer at Kulsoom Society of hematology, shared Fadwa Said Abdelazim’s post on LinkedIn:
“Remember the triad of thalassemia minor.
- Normal TRBCs in females versus high TRBCs in males.
- Microcytosis out of proportion to low hemoglobin.
- Normal RDW CV with low RDW SD (due to small uniform red cell population).”
Fadwa Said Abdelazim, Professor in Heamatopathologyat Cairo University, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“ITD 2026. Thalassemia Minor. Carrier Screening.
- Correction of Superimposed iron deficiency, B12 and folate deficiency, raise Hb to a better level.
- Transferrin Saturation to Confirm iron overload/MRI T of liver in Carriers.
- Ferritin may increase as acute phase reaction in Carriers.
