Labile iron pool as a parameter to monitor iron overload and oxidative stress status in β‐thalassemic erythrocytes

Conclusions: The LIP assay is suggested as an alternative test to monitor the magnitude of iron overload and its consequent oxidative stress in β‐thalassemia. LIP level may also be used as a marker for therapeutic response to iron chelation treatment. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
