Treatment of beta-Thalassaemia major is based on regular blood transfusions to maintain the pre-transfusional Hb level above 9 gr/dl and appropriate chelation therapy to avoid the consequences of iron overload. The metabolically active iron catalyses the formation of free radicals, which damage m...
