A member asked:

What is the latest successful treatment of beta thalassemia disies?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

severity?: From your description, i assume you have severe symptoms. Transfusions are the mainstay. Splenectomy will help the enlarged spleen. Chelation will help the iron overload. The best hope for cure is stem cell transplantation, if available to you but is risky and expensive.
