TITLE: TO DISCUSS LONG TERM IMPACTS OF THALASSEMIA.
INTRODUCTION
In regard to Thalassemia, it can be said that it is inherited blood disorder that causes
people’s body to have less hemoglobin than average (Thompson and et.al., 2018). Human body
needs 12.0-17.5 per decilitre haemoglobin otherwise as it enables red blood cells to carry out
oxygen that is essential for surviving. Less haemoglobin causes problems of anaemia that is
known as deficiency of red blood cells.
BACKGROUND
This study is going to discuss some main causes of Thalassemia along with treatment that
can be given to people who are suffering from severe Thalassemia. It will further discuss long
term impacts that Thalassemia can have on people. Research methodology also plays a vital role
in accomplishing research aim as it enables researchers in gathering appropriate data. Primary
and secondary data collection both helps researcher in knowing all about research topic and this
study will discuss better ways of analysing secondary data.
Aim and objectives
Aim: The main aim of conducting this research is “To identify long term impacts that
Thalassemia can have on people”.
Objectives
 To identify causing factors of Thalassemia.
 To discuss impacts of Thalassemia on people’s growth.
 To identify best treatment for Thalassemia.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Causing factors of Thalassemia
According to the Fibach and Rachmilewitz, (2017) Thalassemia caused by mutation in the
DNA of cells that make haemoglobin. Thalassemia is all about anaemia or loss of blood that
happens when number of red blood cells in body decreased. Tari and et.al., (2018) stated that
there is a substance in red blood cells that carries out oxygen throughout human’s body.
