ABSTRACT
Background:
Thalassemia syndromes are heterogeneous groups of inherited anemias. Its treatment depends on recurrent blood transfusion with a problem of iron overload, which leads to multiple endocrinopathies including hypoparathyroid. The aim of the study is to estimate the level of serum parathyroid hormone and its relation to bone mineral density in transfusion dependent beta-thalassemia major children
