Abstract

Beta-thalassemia (β-thalassemia) is a group of inherited blood disorders caused by mutations in globin genes, resulting in reduced or absent synthesis of β-globin chains, leading to hemolytic anemia. One of the complications of β-thalassemia is the development of renal dysfunction. For patients with end-stage renal disease, kidney transplantation is the best treatment option. However, kidney transplantation in β-thalassemia patients presents several risk factors. In this article, we present the case of a 28-year-old female patient with both end-stage renal disease and β-thalassemia, including clinical and laboratory features, the transplantation procedure, and post-transplantation monitoring at Thai Nguyen National Hospital.
