Թալասեմիաների ընդհանուր բնութագիրը

Thalassemia is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder that manifests in childhood and patients receive treatment throughout their whole life. The most common types of thalassemias are beta- and alpha- thalassemias. Over time, more effective monitoring and treatment of patients with thalassemia becomes important. The results of some clinical trials and observations have shown that, depending on the degree of anemia, the need for blood transfusion in older patients can develop serious complications. A thorough clinical examination is necessary to classify a newly diagnosed transfusion-dependent thalasemia or non-transfusion-dependent thalasemia patient. The manifestations and treatment of thalassemia depend on the type and severity. The aim of this study is to summarize the clinical classification of thalassemia, approaches to diagnosis and treatment.
