i got Thallassemia anaemia what should i do?


Question:


Answers:
You need to understand that Thalassemia is an inherited disorder. You also should know that Thalassemic anemia causes a change in the formation of your hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the blood component that carries oxygen from your lungs to tissues throughout your body. THIS IS A LIFE-THREATENING CONDITION, depending on the severity of your disease. You need to have lab work done to determine the amount of hemoglobin and hematocrit in your body. If these levels are abnormally low, you may need to receive a blood transfusion, iron chelation therapy, or a splenectomy (if it is found that hemoloysis of red blood cells is occurring there).

Other Answers:
Many people with thalassemias have mild, if any, symptoms. Generally no treatment is needed and it shouldn't have much of an effect on you. However if you feel overly tired, see your doctor for further advice.
