Green Tea Epigallocatechin 3-Gallate Reduced Platelet Aggregation and Improved Anticoagulant Proteins in Patients with Transfusion-Dependent β-Thalassemia: A Randomized Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial

Patients with transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia (TDT) with iron overload have been linked to hypercoagulability and increased platelet (PLT) activation that causes thrombosis.
