title: [Uric acid analysis in thalassemia trait carriers].
abstract: The results of a uric acid analysis on Beta Thalassaemia Heterozygotes compared with healthy or microcytic non Beta Thalassaemia Heterozygotes are reported. Identical uric acid levels, higher than in the control group, were found in Beta Thalassaemia Heterozygotes: therefore the difference does not appear to be specific for thalassaemic carriers but consequent to increased erythrocytic catabolism in microcytic anemias.
