I have thalassemia minor what should I do in general in life to live without complications

[@SM-uo9ps]

If you have A thal trait and 4% ferritin is this normal? And would you give IV iron?

[@The123beso]

In diagnosis you have written High RBC Distribution Width, I believe it should be normal in case of Thalassemia (at least in Thalassemia minor), shouldn't it?

[@agnijmondal6774]

Thala for a reason ❤

[@sandeepjayasekara1266]

3.56 Thalassemia has a normal RDW, hasn’t it?

[@manmohansinghrao8200]

2:36 you have put beta+beta0 at both moderate and severe. In which category this beta+beta0 exactly fall.

[@Alilamedicalmedia]

beta+ is not just 1 mutation - it's any mutation that has reduced amount/function of beta globin. Many different mutations belong to this group. They reduce beta globin function to different degrees and therefore can have different levels of severity.

[@Explore4code]

What is the cure?

[@TheNature-ii9le]

[@ImayavarambanGK]

[@WhiteCoatandSteth]

Blood transfusion
Gene editing
Gene therapy
Fllolic acid supplements
Bone marrow stem cell transplant
Iron chelation therapies
Drugs containing hydroxyurea

[@Rajyamma]

I say There is no cure. Yes BMT is possible but the chances are so less to survive. only regular blood transfusion is best option atleast
they can survive a bit longer
