Are you afraid of thalassemia

summary

Blood is rich in iron, some people less iron will lead to less red blood cells, resulting in thalassemia, and we explain the relevant knowledge of thalassemia.

Are you afraid of thalassemia

First of all, thalassemia, also known as marine anemia, is a group of genetic diseases. Its pathogenesis is that the decrease or deletion of globin chain of synthetic hemoglobin leads to abnormal hemoglobin structure. This kind of red blood cell with abnormal hemoglobin has lower deformability and shorter life span, which can be damaged by human liver and spleen in advance, leading to anemia and even developmental abnormalities. This kind of disease is also called hemolytic anemia in medicine.

Then thalassemia is classified according to the involved amino acid chains. There are four kinds of peptide chains, namely α, β, γ and δ chains, which are encoded by their corresponding genes. The deletion or point mutation of these genes can cause the synthesis disorder of various peptide chains, resulting in the change of hemoglobin components. Thalassemia is usually divided into four types: α, β, δ, β and δ, among which β and α thalassemia are more common. Thalassemia can also be classified as mild or severe according to one or two gene defects.

Finally, severe anemia, also known as Cooley anemia. Children born asymptomatic, to 3 to 12 months of onset, chronic progressive anemia, pale, large liver and spleen, dysplasia, often mild gangrene, with the increase of age, the body's reaction will be more and more obvious, there will be no possibility of self-healing, parents must pay attention to.

matters needing attention

People with thalassemia should not eat irritant food in their life, but eat more food rich in vitamins. Don't buy cooked meat products such as roast chicken, pork elbow and sausage at the stall. When you buy them in the store, you must also pay attention to the shelf life. Don't use food with unknown shelf life and past shelf life.
