The plasma clearance rate of heat denatured human serum albumin (DHAI-125, 5 mg/kg body weight) was studied in 20 children with homozygous-beta-thalassemia before and 7--10 days after blood transfusion. A significant increase of the DHAI-125 clearance rate (P less than 0.02) was found 7--10 days after blood transfusion while the spleen presented its minimum size. This finding may be relevant to the improved intrasplenic blood circulation after blood transfusion due to the release of the blood trapped within the spleen.
