New study to reveal hidden body changes in kids with thalassemia
NCT ID NCT07204015
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at body composition—fat, muscle, and bone mass—in children aged 5 to 18 with beta thalassemia major who receive regular blood transfusions. Researchers will use a simple test to measure these body components and see how they relate to transfusion frequency, iron levels, nutrition, and hormone problems. The goal is to better understand the physical effects of the disease and its treatment.
