About this study

Official title: The Effect of Iron Overload, Oxidative Stress and Dyslipidemia on Glucose Level and Thyroid Function in Patients With Abnormal Hemoglobinopathy

The effects of iron overload and oxidative stress and dyslipidemia on glucose level and thyroid function in patients with abnormal hemoglobinopathy. 2- Evaluation of MDA level as a marker of oxidative stress.

Read the detailed description

Severe anemia due to defect in the synthesis of hemoglobin and hemolysis can endanger the life of β- thalassemia major (β-TM) patients and sickle cell anemia; therefore, the span and patient's quality of life is highly dependent on regular blood transfusion. Nonetheless, blood transfusion causes iron accumulation in the patients. Excess iron deposits in vital organs, such as liver, heart and endocrine glands, result in their malfunction. Endocrinopathies account as one of the most common iron overload complications. Oxidative stress is a major mechanism contributing to the progression of the disease in TDT. Iron overload enhances oxidative stress in patients with TDT. Iron is recognized to be a catalyst in developing reactive oxygen species (ROS).

MDA is an eosinophilic enol compound that reacts with the structural and functional cellular protein to generate toxic lipoxidation end product destined for cellular damage of the affected organs. It is used as a sensitive biomarker for oxidative stress. Disturbances in serum lipids and carbohydrates homoeostasis as well as OS were documented in β-TM and sickle cell anemia. Increase in serum levels total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and decrease in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) are the well-known causative factors and predictors of CHD development and endocrine abnormality

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. correlation between oxidative stress and endocrine dysfunction in patients with hemoglubinopathy

    1. The effects of iron overload and oxidative stress and dyslipidemia on glucose level and thyroid function in patients with abnormal hemoglobinopathy.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Using of MDA level as a marker of oxidative stress

    Malondialdehyde as a marker of oxidative stress

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Oxidative Stress in Patient With Haemoglobinopathy and Affect it of Endocrine System, run by Assiut University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Oct 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Samar Gebril Mahdy, Intern (+0201015714015, samargebril654321@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

correlation between oxidative stress and endocrine dysfunction in patients with hemoglubinopathy (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Oct 2022.
