Should thalassemia be supplemented with iron?

Thalassemia is a special kind of anemia. Hematopoietic genes are partially missing, incomplete and heritable. Those who can live to adulthood are generally moderate or mild Mediterranean, and most of them are mild asymptomatic Mediterranean. Because the Mediterranean itself has a serious disorder of hematopoietic function, young people will die, and the Mediterranean can be inherited, which is very different from the general iron deficiency anemia.

The cause of thalassemia is not only the lack of hematopoietic genes, but also various reasons. Many patients have high blood iron content. At this time, iron should not be supplemented, but some of them are iron deficiency anemia. Never take iron supplements without a blood test.

Be sure to go to the hospital for hematological examination to see the specific cause of thalassemia, and then wait for the right medicine. Remember that moderate or mild Mediterranean does not require surgical treatment, and it is not worth the loss. Mediterranean is more common, and moderate or mild Mediterranean can be recovered by drugs. It is best for patients to have a diversified diet, such as several vegetables on the table and various vitamins to keep fit. Patients should maintain an optimistic and positive attitude.
