Haemoglobin is used in the transportation of oxygen from the lungs to the other parts of the body and, in return, carries carbon dioxide to the lungs for exhalation. In thalassemia, the haemoglobin molecules are either <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">deficient<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or abnormal and this results in a shortage of red blood cells, a condition referred to as anaemia. <\/span>Thalassemia disease <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">needs to be managed throughout life in order to prevent complications.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Thalassemia_Symptoms\"><\/span><b>Thalassemia Symptoms<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The<\/span> thalassemia symptoms <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">depend on the degree of the disease and the<\/span> thalassemia types <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">present.
