Thalassemia belongs to genetic diseases, hereditary diseases. The cause of the disease is due to genetic and chromosomal abnormalities that lead to congenital defects in the quantity or quality of globin production, resulting in thalassemia. Therefore, no matter what thalassemia patients eat, it cannot help in blood replenishment. For thalassemia patients with severe anemia symptoms, the primary treatment method is red blood cell transfusion support therapy, and oral medications are ineffective. It is important to note that thalassemia patients who undergo repeated red blood cell transfusions need chelation therapy.
