A Genetic Blood Disorder That Affects Hemoglobin Production

About Thalassemia

Thalassemia is a genetic blood disorder in which the body produces insufficient or abnormal hemoglobin, the protein responsible for carrying oxygen in red blood cells. As a result, red blood cells break down more quickly, leading to anemia and related symptoms, and care is typically overseen by a thalassemia treatment doctor.

This is a lifelong condition that requires regular medical monitoring and appropriate management to maintain overall health.

Types of Thalassemia

  • Thalassemia Minor (Trait)
    Mild form, often without symptoms. Usually detected during routine blood tests.
  •  Thalassemia Major
    Severe form requiring regular blood transfusions and lifelong treatment.
  • Thalassemia Intermedia
    Moderate severity, may require occasional transfusions.
