A member asked:

Why anemia caused when hb is "hb e/beta thallassemia?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more info.: The pattern of your blood counts over the years would be helpful. Many asian populations have hemoglobin e. Beta thal trait is also frequently seen. You need to see your hematologist to clarify what is going on and any potential treatments. Good luck.
