What is thalassemia

First of all, thalassemia is a congenital blood disease, which has certain genetic factors. Thalassemia is also known as marine anemia, referred to as thalassemia.

Finally, a small amount of red blood cell infusion is only suitable for intermediate α - and β - thalassemia, but not for severe β - thalassemia. For severe β - thalassemia, medium and high amount of blood transfusion should be given early to make the growth and development of children close to normal and prevent bone lesions. The method is as follows: first, infuse concentrated red blood cells repeatedly to make hemoglobin content reach 120-150g / L; then infuse concentrated red blood cells 10-15ml / kg every 2-4 weeks to keep hemoglobin content above 90-105g / L. But this method is easy to lead to hemosiderosis, so it should be given iron chelating agent at the same time.
