3. What is thalassemia?
• Thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder.
• The protein hemoglobin transports oxygen around the body in
blood cells. Bone marrowuses the iron we get from food to make
hemoglobin.
• In people with thalassemia, the bone marrow does not produce
enough healthy hemoglobin or red blood cells. In some types this
leads to a lack of oxygen, resulting in anemia and fatigue.
• There are different types of thalassemia. More severe types can
involve organ damage, restricted growth, heart failure, liver
damage, and even death.
• People with mild thalassemia may not require any treatment, but
more severe forms will necessitate regular blood transfusions.
