Treatment of thalassemia, dietary therapy is effective

Anemia is a relatively common symptom, and many people may suffer from anemia in their lives. There are many types of anemia, and one type of anemia is more special, which is thalassemia. Thalassemia is a hereditary disease that can be managed through dietary changes.

1: What is thalassemia?

1: Thalassemia, also known as sea anemia, is a group of hereditary diseases and the most common incomplete dominant chronic hemolytic anemia in the population. The pathogenesis is that the globin chains that synthesize hemoglobin are reduced or missing, resulting in abnormal hemoglobin structure. Red blood cells containing abnormal hemoglobin have reduced deformability and shortened lifespan. They can be destroyed prematurely by the liver, spleen, etc. of the human body, leading to anemia and even developmental abnormalities. This disease is medically known as hemolytic anemia.

2: Thalassemia is a preventable but difficult to treat genetic disease. If you can clearly understand your genetic background before marriage and do a good job of thalassemia screening and diagnosis before birth, you can effectively minimize the chances of the next generation suffering from severe thalassemia.
