Impact of Empagliflozin on the Outcomes of β-Thalassemia Major in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: The THALEMPA Observational Study
This study demonstrates the significant impact of EMPA treatment over three months on β-TM patients with T2DM, evidenced by notable improvements in hemoglobin levels and reductions in liver enzymes, as well as in complications related to iron overload and hyperuricemia. Future research should confirm these benefits over longer durations and assess broader patient outcomes such as quality of life.
