What is familial thalassemia?

summary

In recent years, many people have been found suffering from thalassemia. The so-called thalassemia is also called thalassemia. As the name suggests, it is hindered in the formation of globin. Generally, this kind of disease is a family genetic disease, which is the lack of gene, but it is still very easy to treat. What is family thalassemia? Now let me tell you something.

What is familial thalassemia?

The cause of this disease is generally due to the molecular structure of globin chain problems, or family genetic problems, because normal people are inherited from their parents that two genes, but patients with this disease only inherited a protein chain from one side, leading to the disease, this kind of anemia is relatively common.

According to the clinical characteristics and examination, combined with their family history, generally can give a diagnosis, if it is conditional family, can choose gene diagnosis. For rare types, there are also complex types, which are more complex, and the clinical aspects are also different, so the general routine laboratory will conduct blood tests

Because each person's gene level is different, patients with gene mutation may not have the same clinical manifestations. Hemoglobin test can also diagnose this kind of anemia, but the test after blood transfusion treatment will conflict with the actual results, so it is difficult to diagnose in genetics,

matters needing attention

Patients must cooperate well with the doctor's treatment, and pay attention to their own health. As long as you cooperate well, you will recover in the shortest time. I wish you a speedy recovery. Finally, I hope there will be no more patients.
