Abstract This study was conducted for a samples of thalassemia patients who included males and females as well as healthy people as compared. We were measured liver enzymes(ALK, GOT, GPT), blood parameters such as WBCS count, RBCS count, hemoglobin deposition rate Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), hematocrit or packed red cell volume(PCV) and Quantity of iron. The results displayed that there were a significantly difference increase in the values of iron and liver enzymes (ALK, GOT, GPT) among thalassemia patients and control under the level of probability (0.05) for males and females, and There was as well a significantly difference increase and decrease in blood parameters for (WBCS, RBCS, Hb, PCV) and did not showed significantly difference between patients and control in the ESR. When comparing the results between male and female patients with thalassemia, the results appeared that there is a significantly difference increase between them and that Thalassemia directly affects males more than females, especially in the liver enzymes, but iron has recorded a clear reduction in males compared to females and did not record blood standards any significant difference Between males and females despite the higher value of white blood cells in males compared to females.
