Heterozygous thalassemia can be treated by medication, blood transfusion therapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
1. Drug treatment: Heterozygous thalassemia can be treated by drugs. Folic acid tablets, vitamin E tablets, vitamin C tablets and other medicines can be used under the guidance of doctors.
2. Blood transfusion treatment: Heterozygous thalassemia can be treated by regular blood transfusion to maintain the hemoglobin concentration, and at the same time of blood transfusion, it is also necessary to regulate iron removal, which can be done by using injectable desferrioxamine mesylate, desferrioxamine tablets, deferasirox dispersible tablets and other medicines according to the doctor’s instruction.
3. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: Heterozygous thalassemia can be treated by stem cell transplantation. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation refers to injecting normal donor or autologous hematopoietic cells into the patient’s body to rebuild normal hematopoietic and immune functions after the patient has undergone systemic irradiation, chemotherapy and immunosuppression pretreatment, so as to achieve the purpose of treating heterozygous thalassemia.
