At Medicover Hospital, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive care for individuals with Thalassemia, a genetic blood disorder that affects the production of hemoglobin. Our team of experienced healthcare professionals is committed to diagnosing Thalassemia accurately and tailoring treatment plans to improve the quality of life for patients. Below, we outline our approach to Thalassemia diagnosis and treatment:
Thalassemia Diagnosis:
- Blood Tests: The diagnosis of Thalassemia often begins with a simple blood test. A complete blood count (CBC) is typically the first step.
- Hemoglobin Electrophoresis: To confirm the diagnosis and determine the specific type of Thalassemia (Alpha or Beta) and its severity, a hemoglobin electrophoresis test is performed.
- Genetic Testing: In some cases, especially for carriers of Thalassemia who may not show symptoms, genetic testing can identify the presence of Thalassemia gene mutations.
- Family History and Clinical Assessment: A thorough evaluation of family medical history and clinical symptoms plays a crucial role in confirming the diagnosis and assessing the overall health of the patient.
Thalassemia Treatment:
- Blood Transfusions: For individuals with moderate to severe Thalassemia, regular blood transfusions are often necessary to replace the deficient or abnormal hemoglobin with healthy red blood cells. The frequency of transfusions depends on the type and severity of Thalassemia.
- Iron Chelation Therapy: Repeated blood transfusions can lead to excess iron in the body, which can be harmful. Iron chelation therapy is used to remove this excess iron and prevent iron overload-related complications.
- Stem Cell Transplantation: In select cases, especially for young patients with a suitable donor, stem cell transplantation (bone marrow or stem cell transplant) may be considered as a potential cure for Thalassemia.
- Supportive Care: Medicover Hospital provides comprehensive supportive care, including nutritional guidance, vaccinations, and management of associated complications such as infections, bone deformities, and spleen enlargement.
- Psychological Support: We understand that living with Thalassemia can be emotionally challenging. Our team offers psychological support to patients and their families to help them cope with the condition and its impact on their lives.
- Genetic Counseling: For individuals with Thalassemia who are planning to have children, our genetic counseling services can provide information and guidance on family planning and risk assessment.
At Medicover Hospital, we prioritize patient-centric care and plan treatment to meet the unique needs of each individual with Thalassemia. Our multidisciplinary team of hematologists, genetic counselors, and support staff work together to ensure the best possible outcomes and an improved quality of life for our patients.
