Thalassaemic Trait and Anaemia in Pregnancy: Impact on Physiotherapy Management of Elbow Fracture” Case Study

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Thalassemia is a hereditary blood disorder characterized by reduced or absent synthesis of one of the globin chains that make up haemoglobin. This results in ineffective erythropoiesis and varying degrees of anaemia. Thalassemia is broadly classied into alpha-thalassemia and betathalassemia, depending on which globin chain is affected. Individuals who are carriers of the thalassemia gene, also known as having the thalassaemic trait, typically exhibit mild anaemia and are often asymptomatic. However, during pregnancy, the increased hematologic demands can exacerbate anaemia, posing additional risks to both the mother and the foetus.
