What is hgb hic?

Answer 1

HGB HIC, or Hemoglobin H Disease, is a type of thalassemia, specifically an alpha-thalassemia disorder. It occurs when there is a deficiency in the production of alpha globin chains, leading to an excess of beta globin chains that form unstable hemoglobin (Hemoglobin H). This condition can result in moderate to severe anemia, fatigue, and other health complications. Management typically involves regular monitoring and supportive care, and in some cases, blood transfusions may be necessary.
