A few days ago, the doctor said that my niece might have thalassemia

It is possible, but iron deficiency is also possible, although thalassemia may be greater in terms of high RBC count and RBC coefficient of variation (which should not be very high for the second time). Since the hemoglobin is normal, there is no urgency to confirm the diagnosis, and it is recommended to wait for her to recover from pneumonia and undergo hemoglobin electrophoresis and thalassemia genetic testing to confirm the diagnosis. Even thalassemia is mild and will not have a big impact on your niece's health.

Of course, if thalassemia is a genetic disease, one of your brothers and sisters-in-law must also have thalassaemia, and your niece may pass on thalassemia to her offspring when she grows up, so if it is diagnosed, her future spouse will also have to be thoroughly examined for thalassemia. This has nothing to do with the mental state, and the elders on both sides seem to be healthy and there is no contradiction with thalassemia, because patients with mild thalassemia are basically the same as ordinary people, and it does not affect life expectancy. Don't be nervous.

Specifically, let's explain the blood routine:

Elevated leukocytes, neutrophils: manifestations of bacterial infection, consistent with the diagnosis of pneumonia. The second result was lower in both of these results, indicating that the infection was under control. These indicators have nothing to do with thalassemia.

Low mean red blood cell volume (normal 80 100) and low mean red blood cell hemoglobin volume (normal 27 32) are signs of thalassemia or iron deficiency. The reasons for the predisposition to the diagnosis of thalassemia have been analyzed. Other indicators are insignificant.

Thalassemia minor can be almost identified.

Hemoglobin is normal, so it is not anaemia in the conventional sense. The above diagnosis is only a genetic judgment.

It is indeed anemia. The specific category of bone puncture is required to confirm the diagnosis.

Hello, this is a genetic disease, severe thalassemia can be life-threatening, there is no specific ** method at present, and regular blood transfusions may be required.

Thalassemia is a genetic disease, mainly distributed in Mediterranean countries and Asia, and Guangxi, Guangdong and Hainan in China are the areas with a high incidence of thalassemia.

It can be divided into four grades: very light, light, intermediate and heavy. Normally, each person will have two sets of normal hemoglobin genes; One group came from the father and the other from the mother.

Thalassemia can occur if one or more abnormal genes are inherited from a parent. Thalassemia must be inherited from the parents, and it is not contagious.

Very thalassemia minor has no anemia, so it is also called thalassemia gene carrier, thalassemia minor only has mild anemia, which is mostly found during physical examination, and most patients with these two types will not know that they have this gene.

Intermediate patients with moderate anemia can be treated with drugs** and splenectomy to increase hemoglobin, but only to improve anemia, not **, and relatively heavy blood transfusion.

The cause of thalassemia patients is mainly caused by genetic factors, and there are very complex defects in the patient's genes, which leads to the lack of hemoglobin in the patient, which can not be cured by simply supplementing iron and blood, so which degree of thalassemia will die?

Let's first talk about patients with thalassemia severe, thalassemia major is actually some young children, because thalassemia major will develop as early as three months after the child is born, and the latest onset of the child will be after one year of age, after the onset of the disease, the child will have a special face of thalassemia, the face is bloodless or because the child has jaundice complications, the face is yellow, and the facial bones are deformed.

In the future, there will be various internal organ complications, the most common is hepatosplenomegaly, protruding belly, when the time of heart failure is five to ten years old, then the child's life will be premature.

Moderate thalassemia is between severe and mild, but moderate is not just no worries, moderate patients only have a later age of onset than heavy patients, and many internal organs of the body will also have complications after the onset of the disease. And the liver and spleen are enlarged, and they often die of heart failure in middle age.

The most likely to raise questions about life are some patients with mild thalassemia, because these patients usually find out that they have this disease when some blood-related aspects are examined, such as some areas with a high incidence of thalassemia, and the patients have no discomfort symptoms before marriage. I was shocked and confused.

Thalassemia is an inherited disorder that stratifies severe cases according to genotype and hemoglobin profile. It is generally divided into stationary, light, intermediate and heavy. It depends on the specific genotype and the hemoglobin concentration.

Thalassemia is actually a misnomer, named "thalassemia" because the disease was first identified in the inhabitants of the countries bordering the Mediterranean. However, it was later found that the incidence of this kind of anemia among residents of Mediterranean coastal countries is not higher than that in some other places, such as in South China, where the incidence of thalassemia is about 8-10%, which is not lower than that of them.

The scientific name for thalassemia is globin dysgenesis anemia, which is a genetic disorder.

Thalassemia is a type of anemia. A few days after birth, anemia, progressive aggravation of hepatosplenomegaly, jaundice, and dysplasia, its special manifestations are: large head, widening of the eye distance, saddle nose, forehead protrusion, cheek prominence, its typical manifestation is a buttock-like head, long bones can be fractured.

Skeletal changes are caused by hyperhematopoiesis of the bone marrow, widening of the bone marrow cavity, and thinning of the cortex. A small number of patients develop a thoracic mass between the ribs and spine, and gallstones and leg ulcers may also be seen. Anemia should pay attention to dietary maintenance, to a high-protein diet, such as lean meat, fish and shrimp, eggs, as well as high iron content of jujubes, pig liver, fungus, etc., is conducive to supplementing iron deficiency, Baiyi yam purple potato powder is also a good choice, can promote the absorption of iron in nutrition.

Thalassemia is a regional disease of an inherited nature. Its main core problem is a disorder of hemoglobin synthesis, the cause of which is still unknown.

Your lab test can rule out thalassemia.

Now it is mild anemia, it is estimated that it is mild, now it is not necessary**, mild thalassemia is not necessary**. In this case, it is recommended to pay more attention to daily life, avoid heavy physical labor, and at the same time, you can test the blood routine.

First of all, you do not have anemia (normal hemoglobin), and the average volume of red blood cells is within the normal range, which does not correspond to thalassemia (microcytic anemia).

Be sure you don't have thalassemia.

Slightly lower MCH and MCHC are related to your normal red blood cell count and are generally not a big problem. It may be a reaction to recent blood loss, or it may be a normal fluctuation.

First of all, there is nothing terrible about thalassemia, in fact, there are more people in thalassemia in some areas, one out of every nine people in Guangdong is thalassaemia, and mild thalassemia does not affect normal life and marriage and childbirth.

Judging from the test data, thalassemia is more likely, and genetic testing can be done to determine whether it is thalassemia or ordinary iron deficiency anemia.

If thalassemia is confirmed, then it is best for you to choose a non-thalassemia partner for marriage.

Of course, if both parties are thalassaemia, it is not that they cannot get married, but they should be tested for fetal thalassemia when they are pregnant.

Only one of the husband and wife can have children normally if they are thalassaemia;

If both husband and wife have thalassemia, the child has a 1 in 4 chance of being completely normal, 1 in 2 is mild thalassemia (that is, like the parents, does not affect normal growth and life), and there is a 1 in 4 chance of severe thalassemia (that is, it is necessary to absolutely prevent birth), and if both parents have thalassemia, they need to be tested for fetal thalassemia during pregnancy to prevent severe thalassemia from occurring.

The genetic pattern of thalassemia is as follows:

1. If neither husband and wife are thalassemia patients, their next generation will not suffer from thalassemia.

2. If only one of the husband and wife is a thalassemia patient, each time they become pregnant, their children have a 50% chance of becoming thalassemia patients due to heredity.

3. If both husband and wife are thalassemia patients, each pregnancy will have a 25% chance that their child will be "normal", a 50% chance of becoming a very mild or mild thalassemia patient, and a 25% chance of suffering from severe thalassemia. If both parents are moderate to severe thalassemia patients, the child will definitely suffer from thalassemia.

Thalassemia, also known as marine anemia, is a congenital blood disorder that is genetically linked to parents. The patient's red blood cells are fragile and prone to death, and their oxygen-carrying capacity is insufficient, and they are unable to live normally beyond certain degrees.

It can be screened out during health check-ups before marriage, which is a recessive gene inheritance, in which the size of red blood cells is smaller than normal cells, and sometimes it is pale or target cells due to low heme content.

The human body has hemoglobin in its blood, which is the carrier of oxygen. If you have low hemoglobin, you are anemic. If you think of the process of making hemoglobin as building a house, thalassemia is a mistake in the blueprints (genes) of the house.

If there are several drawings in the human body, if only one is wrong, and one or several are correct, the problem is not big, it is mild thalassemia. Patients generally have no obvious symptoms of anemia, and their life expectancy is not affected, which is basically the same as ordinary people. If all the drawings are wrong, it is possible that the patient will have severe thalassemia, and the patient will develop significant anemia at a very young age, and at the same time, due to severe anemia, which leads to a series of complications.

In general, thalassemia detected in adults with no obvious symptoms is likely to be mild, although moderate thalassemia cannot be ruled out.

Errors on these drawings are generally not acquired (there are cases that do not correspond to yours), but are inherited. In other words, at least one of your parents is also thalassaemia. Because it is a genetic disease, there is no best way to do it, but it has been said that patients with mild thalassemia have mild symptoms and generally do not need medical treatment.

The main considerations are to prevent comorbid nutritional anemia (like building a house without bricks and materials) and to thoroughly check whether the spouse has thalassemia to prevent the birth of a child with moderate to severe thalassemia.

Genetic disease, I don't know very well!
