Thalassemia report card analysis

There are various kinds of thalassemia report forms, the common ones are: 1. In thalassemia patients, depending on the severity of the disease, the patient’s hemoglobin concentration can appear normal or significantly lower. At the same time, the average volume of red blood cells and the average amount of hemoglobin in the peripheral blood of the patient may also decrease to different degrees depending on the severity of the disease. The more severe the disease, the more obvious the decrease in the average volume of erythrocytes and the average amount of erythrocytes hemoglobin; 2. The second report card is the hemoglobin electrophoresis test, in which abnormal hemoglobin electrophoresis bands are often found in patients with thalassemia, which is very important for the diagnosis of β-thalassemia; 3. The third report card is the peptide chain test, if the peptide chain test reveals hemoglobin If the loss of peptide chain is found in the peptide chain test, the diagnosis of α-thalassemia can be confirmed. The most important way to confirm the diagnosis of thalassemia is the genetic examination. For α-thalassemia, there are often six types of gene deletion, and for β-thalassemia, there are 16 types of mutations.
