Patient's question:
I have been experiencing dizziness recently, and I can't eat properly either. My mental state isn't great either. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was a blood issue. Could you please ask about the blood test for pediatric thalassemia?Doctor's answer:
How can a child have thalassemia? Reference can be made from a complete blood count test, and bone marrow examination can be performed for confirmation. The main clinical manifestations are hemolytic anemia, primarily caused by genetic defects leading to the formation disorder of globin molecular structure, resulting in symptoms such as splenomegaly and developmental abnormalities. First, the body should be supplemented with folic acid and vitamin B12 to enhance nutrition, pay attention to rest, and cooperate with gene catalytic therapy.
