Abstract:
One of the main strategies of the Thalassaemia International Federation (TIF) has been the development of standards and guidelines for the clinical management of patients with thalassaemia. In this effort, TIF published Guidelines for the Management of Non Transfusion Dependent Thalassaemia (NTDT) to offer the most prominent pathophysiologic mechanisms and clinical morbidities commonly encountered in NTDT patients, and provide practical recommendations for combating these morbidities.
