- Abstract
Hb F is synthesized in the gestational period and the amount decreases gradually with delivery. In an adult person, Hb F is <2%. The affinity of HbF to oxygen is higher than HbA. HbF is therefore not suitable for transporting oxygen to tissues. In this study; We investigated the hematological and biochemical changes in an adult patient with 100% HbF in peripheral blood. Complete blood count of a 66-year-old male patient followed up in hematology clinic with symptoms of anemia; RBC: 3.1 1012 / L, Hb: 8.3 g / dL, Hct: 27.6%, MCV: 90.1 f / L, PLT: 793 000 103 / mm3. Serum ferritin: 1094 ng / mL, total bilirubin: 4 mg / dL, direct bilirubin: 0.68 mg / dL. The hemoglobin variant analysis revealed 100% HbF. The patient had no HbA. The patient was evaluated as thalassemia intermedia.
