Biochemical data before versus after Jadenu® treatment in patients with β-thalasemia major.

		Serum creatinine	Albumin	ALP	ALT	AST	FBG
On Exjade ®	Mean	71.25	45.75	136.00	41.08	35.75	5.75
n = 12	SD	4.88	4.69	106.04	33.65	22.84	1.10
On Jadenu ®	Mean	72.67	45.00	113.50	25.50	33.08	5.73
n = 12	SD	3.75	2.74	52.44	8.87	16.86	1.15
	P value	0.12	0.28	0.16	0.08	0.36	0.48

Legend: ALP = alkaline phosphatase (U/L); ALT = alanine transferase (U/L); AST = aspartate transferase (U/L); FBG = fasting blood glucose (mmol/L). The reference ranges for albumin and serum creatinine are as follows: 35–55 g/L; adult women: 0.6–1.1 mg/dL (53–97 μmol/L) - adult men: 0.7–1.3 mg/dL (80–115 μmol/L).
