Background: Iron overload is a major complication in patients with beta-thalassemia major. Excessive iron accumulation leads to organ dysfunction. The regular assessment of iron is crucial to effectively manage iron overload in these patients. This study evaluated the correlation between serum ferritin levels, the Aspartate Aminotransferase-to-Platelet Ratio Index (APRI), and hepatic ...
