Iron overload in the endocrine system (pituitary gland, thyroid and parathyroid glands, pancreas, and gonads) resulting in different endocrinopathies is a major challenge among BTM patients especially among adults. This study aims at describing different endocrinopathies; namely short stature, hypothyroidism and diabetes mellitus among adults treated at Dubai Thalassemia Center in United Arab Emirates.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study is observational retrospective cohort in nature, of all adult patients with BTM aged above 18 years who attended the Dubai Thalassemia Centre during the period of November 2019 and May 2021, were extracted from patients\u2019 electronic medical records.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 200 adults with BTM above 18 years of age were enrolled in this study. Females constituted 54.5% (n=109) of the sample while 45.5% (n=91) were males. The annual average pre-transfusion hemoglobin level was 9 gm\/dL in 81.5%, n=163, while it was low (&amp;lt;9 gm\/dL) in 18.0% (n=36) patients. The mean height of all male patients was 165.4 cm (SD = 6.05) and for females it was 154.11 cm (SD = 5.67), while the mean weights of all male and female patients were 60.4 kg (SD + 12.74) and 55.8 kg (SD = 14.60), respectively. Of all female patients, the mean age of menarche was 15 years. The prevalence of Hypogonadism is 23%, Diabetes Mellitus 15%, Hypothyroidism 11%, Hypoparathyroidism 9% and Short Stature 1.5%.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Despite the improved care and introduction of oral chelators, the prevalence of endocrinopathies namely hypogonadism, short stature, hypothyroidism, hypoparathyroidism and diabetes mellitus still pose a major concern for patients with BTM.
