The presence of a high incidence of thrombotic events, mainly in nontransfusion-dependent β-thalassemia syndromes, has led to the identification of a hypercoagulable state in thalassemia patients. This article highlights the mechanisms leading to hypercoagulability in thalassemia. It also discusses the clinical experience and available evidence on prevention and management approaches.

Abstract

The presence of a high incidence of thrombotic events, mainly in nontransfusion-dependent β-thalassemia syndromes, has led to the identification of a hypercoagulable state in thalassemia patients. This article highlights the mechanisms leading to hypercoagulability in thalassemia. It also discusses the clinical experience and available evidence on prevention and management approaches.
