HEMOGLOBIN H DISEASE AND GROWTH: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF DHbH AND NDHbH PATIENTS

Conclusions: NDHbH patients exhibited lower hemoglobin levels and more pronounced splenomegaly than DHbH patients. Growth failure can occur in both HbH types but appears more prevalent in NDHbH. Close monitoring of growth velocity is essential, and early treatment interventions may be required to prevent growth failure.
