Patient's question:
How much does it cost to check the full set of thalassemia genes... The child has been in this condition for some time, and as parents, we are very worried. We hope the doctor can give us some advice.Doctor's answer:
Screening for thalassemia: It costs around tens of yuan, and this test can only determine if you have thalassemia.Genetic testing for thalassemia: The full α+β test costs about 500-600 yuan (the fee varies by hospital). This test can identify which type it is, essentially confirming the diagnosis.
If you suspect you have thalassemia, I recommend starting with a thalassemia screening first. There's no need to waste hundreds of extra yuan.
I suggest you go to a formal hospital for testing and treatment.
