A Case Report of Hypertriglyceridemia- Thalassemia Syndrome

Journal Title: VIMS Health Science Journal - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 1

Abstract

Thalassemia major is a severe hereditary haemolytic anaemia and is usually associated with normal serum lipid profile. But there are few reports in the literature that hypertriglyceridemia can have an idiopathic association with Beta-thalassemia major. We report a case of hypertriglyceridemia associated with Beta-thalassemia major, i.e. Hypertriglyceridemia-Thalassemia syndrome in a six month old female baby. The presence of severe hypertriglyceridemia in this child which rapidly resolved after transfusion, probably suggests a self limited mechanism which may not require therapy.
