what is thalasemia?...

[gymdandee]

It's a blood disorder that's inherited. The body makes an abnormal form of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. The result is excessive destruction of red blood cells, which leads to anemia.

•Fatigue

•Growth failure

•Shortness of breath

•Yellow skin (jaundice)

Persons with the minor form of alpha and beta thalassemia have small red blood cells (which are identified by looking at their red blood cells under a microscope), but no symptoms.
