Thalassemia

Thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder that leads to less hemoglobin production than normal in the body.
Hemoglobin enables red blood cells to carry oxygen.
Thalassemia results in low production of red blood cells and a low oxygenated blood supply to the body parts.
Some of the common symptoms of Thalassemia include anemia, fatigue, enlarged liver and spleen, growth impairment, skeletal deformities, leg ulcers and infections, hemolytic facies, frequent transfusions, and iron overload.
