Thalassemia

I have had spots of alopecia for 2 years now and I have tried everything but none of them worked until now. I am using Arganlife shampoo with argan oil and I noticed reduce all of the alopecia spots; I was surprised and will continue to use both products.

It cannot.

Thalassemia is a genetic disorder, meaning people are born with it, inherit it from their parent(s).

Thalassemia affects the synthesis (making) of the molecule Haemoglobin. Haemoglobin molecules are responsible for transporting Oxygen from our lungs to our body tissues, practically, to all cells in the body. They also transport carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs, where they pick up the next load of oxygen.

Haemoglobin molecules are contained within the red blood cells. It is very important that the red blood cells have a proper amount of properly functioning haemoglobin inside, otherwise the body could not be efficiently oxygenated, and that would lead to anaemia.

The haemoglobin molecules are made up of 4 protein chains = 2 alpha chains and 2 beta chains. The gene, that is responsible to make those chains can be faulty, and that happens in Thalassemia. Depending on which chain(s), and to what extent is (are) affected, would decide the type and nature of Thalassemia, the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment (if necessary) for it.

you have a 50/50 chance me and my twin both had it and my 2 older brothers are fine 1 is a carrier and the other is not.

yes, but not more than 2 weeks coz it's known as pain killer due to gas in ur stomach or chest

It is unlikely.

Thalassemia is a genetic blood disorder that causes reduced hemoglobin production, leading to anemia and various health complications. Health insurance coverage for thalassemia treatment varies by provider and policy, often including costs for regular blood transfusions, chelation therapy, and routine medical care. Patients should carefully review their insurance plans to ensure adequate coverage for necessary treatments and medications. Additionally, some countries have specific programs or support systems for individuals with thalassemia to help offset treatment costs.

In order to avoid having an unhealthy lifestyle, you must dedicate a good amount of time to nutrition and exercise. The healthiness of food and drink choices undoubtedly influences the shape ones body is in. For example, if an individual consumes foods that are high in calories regularly, they will have poor health because calories add up and contribute to obesity, diabetes, heart attacks, and other negative conditions. In addition, because these foods do not contain essential vitamins which the body needs for strength, a person may not live as long as he or she should. In contrast, people who eat the recommended portions of food displayed on the food pyramid, such as fruits and grains, have a well-balanced diet, thus they intake all of the necessary materials which the body needs to thrive and remain healthy. You also must exercise regularly in order to have a healthy body. Exercise helps to circulate the blood and keep the physical condition of the body parts intact. For example, lifting weights at the gym will increase the strength of ones arms and allow this person to complete more tasks related to strength.

No, it is not.

G6PD (Glucose-6-Phosphate-Dehydrogenase) is an enzyme which protects the red blood cells under specific circustances.

These specific circumstances include

- certain drugs/medications (sulfonamides, antimalarial drugs, salicylates)

- diet (fava beans)

- infections

- fever

- acidosis.

Individuals, born with a deficiency of this enzyme, are not efficiently protected. Meaning, if they are subjected for a longer time to any of these specific substances or conditions, their unprotected red blood cells could suffer damage. Due to this damage, the red blood cells are destroyed - leading to bleeding (hemolytic episodes).

This inborn deficiency is X-linked, which means, it primarily effects males, partial involvement or carrier situation applies to females.

This aspect is similar to that of Thalassemia, as Thalassemia is also an inherited condition, which effects males primarily, and females are mainly the carriers.

But, G6PD is a deficiency of an enzyme (Glucose-6-Phosphate-Dehydrogenase), and Thalassemia is caused by a genetic fault, which impairs the synthesis (production) of haemoglobin, the red blood cells' oxygen-carrying molecules.

While G6PD deficiency is active only at the above specific circumstances, Thalassemia is constantly present.

Yes, A "carrier" of alpha thalassemia and of beta thalassemia can marry, but not to someone with any hemoglobinopathy.

Prof. Kornfeld Pal

If you have Thalassemia major but your boyfriend is not a carrier then the child will be born a healthy carrier (thalassemia minor) but shouldn't need blood transfusions. If your boyfriend is a carrier then you would have a 50% chance of having a child with thalassemia major like you do.

Hepatomegaly in thalassemia occures as aresult of engorgement of hepatic paranchymal and phagocytic cells with hemosiderin deposits.

The Thalassemia Major person marries a normal person then 50% chance of getting normal or else 50% chance is the child will be Thalassemia Carrier / Minor.

So, not to be worried to go ahead with production.

If you have a weak or uneasy stomach, it is good to eat carbohydrates to gain your energy back. Things like plain pasta, toast, and rice are good for a weak stomach. If you eat something with too much flavor or spice it will affect your stomach in a negative way.

large red bump that looks like a pimple, small boils, do not pick! go to the doctor and have them do a staph culture. you can aslo see pics of staph online if you google "pictures of staph". staph is very dangerous in certain strains and also contagious. if you are certain it may be staph go get the culture asap.

What could be the problem white blood cells attack red ones

No. A minor form of the blood disorder thalassemia is when you inherited just one beta thalassemia gene, along with a normal beta-chain gene. This manifests as mild anaemia with a slight lowering of the hemoglobin level in the blood. No treatment is require.

By contrast, a thalassemia major, also known as Cooley's Disease, is when one is born with two genes for beta thalassemia and no normal beta-chain gene. This is a serious disorder.
