Elevated Fatty Acid Binding Protein 4 (FABP4) Associated With Liver Damage and Kidney Complications in Thalassemia Patients
A significant difference was seen between serum FABP4 and bilirubin and AST/ALT ratio, showing a connection between serum FABP4 and liver injury and kidney complications. Consequently, while further studies are essential for a comprehensive exploration of this hypothesis, serum FABP4 may have a potential role in chronic diseases in thalassemia patients.
