AI Summary
Thalassemia Anemia is a genetic disorder that affects the production of hemoglobin, leading to anemia and various symptoms such as fatigue, loss of appetite, heart problems, jaundice, and dark urine. The pathophysiology involves overproduction of HbF and HbA2, haemolysis, and ineffective erythropoiesis. Diagnosis is done through blood tests, including haemoglobin electrophoresis. Prognosis varies depending on the type of thalassemia, with some cases requiring regular blood transfusions, bone marrow transplants, or genetic treatments. Treatment options include supplements for mild anemia and blood transfusions for severe cases.
