Chronically transfused patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) and beta thalassemia major (TM) develop iron overload.
Determine the impact of iron overload on glucose regulation in SCD.
Prospective study of 28 patients with SCD and 38 patients with TM who underwent liver and pancreas R* measurements and oral glucose tolerance tests.
Impaired fasting glucose (2 vs. 9, p = 0.27) and impaired glucose tolerance (1 vs. 11, p = 0.019) were less common in patients with SCD compared with patients with TM. No SCD patient had diabetes.
Iron-mediated glucose dysregulation is present but less common in SCD patients.
患有镰状细胞病(SCD)和重型β地中海贫血(TM)的长期输血患者会出现铁过载。
确定铁过载对SCD患者葡萄糖调节的影响。
对28例SCD患者和38例TM患者进行前瞻性研究,这些患者接受了肝脏和胰腺R*测量以及口服葡萄糖耐量试验。
与TM患者相比,SCD患者空腹血糖受损(2例对9例,p = 0.27)和葡萄糖耐量受损(1例对11例,p = 0.019)的情况较少见。没有SCD患者患有糖尿病。
铁介导的葡萄糖调节异常存在,但在SCD患者中较少见。
