Beta-Talasemi Major Hastalarında Plasma Vitamin B12 Ve Folik Asit Düzeyleri

Abstract

Giriş ve Amaç: Folik asit eksikliği, homozigot beta-talasemi hastalarında bilinen bir durumdur. Etkili olmayan eritropoezis nedeni ile sürekli transfüzyon yapılan beta-talasemi hastaları daha fazla folik aside ihtiyaç duyarlar. Buna karşın, talasemi hastalarında vitamin B12 eksikliği daha nadir görülmektedir. Talasemi majorde görülen mikrositoz, folik asit ve vitamin B12 eksikliğinin hematolojik bulgularını maskeleyebilir. Bu çalışmada beta-talasemi majör hastalarında vitamin B12 ve folik asit seviyelerini araştırmayı amaçladık. Yöntem: Talasemi major tanısı ile izlediğimiz 92 hastanın vitamin B12 ve folik asit düzeyi ölçüldü. Hiçbir hastaya son 1 yıl içinde vitamin B12 ve/veya folik asit verilmemişti. Sonuçlar: Talasemi major hastalarında vitamin B12, folik asit, vitamin B12 ve folik asit eksikliği birlikteliği sırası ile %13, %9.8, %2.2 oranında saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Ortalama eritrosit hacmi (MCV), talasemi major hastalarında vitamin B12 ve folik asit eksikliğini göstermede iyi bir parametre olmadığı düşünülmektedir.Talasemi major hastalarında vitamin B12 ve folik asit seviyelerinin belirli aralıklar ile ölçülmesini önermekteyiz.
