| Core Tip |
Endocrine dysfunction is a major source of long-term morbidity in transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia. Subtle hypothalamic-pituitary axis abnormalities, such as neurosecretory growth hormone dysfunction and tertiary adrenal insufficiency, may precede overt clinical signs. Pituitary magnetic resonance imaging and dynamic hormone testing improve early detection. Integrating routine endocrine screening into thalassemia care enables timely interventions that can prevent irreversible complications and enhance quality of life. |
