10. INTRODUCTION OF THALASSEMIA
It’s a Genetic blood disorder.
A Blood cell consists of two different proteins, an
alpha and a beta.
Red blood cells do not form properly and cannot
carry sufficient oxygen.
Thalassemia is not a single disorder but a group of
related disorder.
There are 23 pairs of chromosome, in thalassemia
minor one chromosome of 11 pair is defected.
12. THALASSEMIA MAJOR
Thalassemia major, occurs when a child inherits
two mutated genes, one from each parent.
Thalassemia major usually develop the symptoms
of severe anemia within the first year of life.
They lack the ability to produce normal adult
hemoglobin (red blood cells).
Patients are regular transfusions of red blood cells
every (Every 4 to 6 weeks).
Probability of Thalassemia Major- 25%
13. THALASSEMIA MINOR
Thalassemia trait in one gene are known as carriers
or Thalassemia minor.
Special blood test called hemoglobin
electrophoresis which can identify the gene.
Probability of Thalassemia Minor- 50%.
14. THALASSEMIA INTERMEDIA
Milder form of Thalassemia.
One of the more severe thalassemic genes.
Develop symptoms later in life.
15. CAUSES OF THALASSEMIA
There are red cells, white cells and plate
cells in our blood.
Hemoglobin in red blood cells carries
oxygen from lungs to all parts of body.
Lack of Protein(hemoglobin)- can't carry
enough oxygen- thalassemia occur.
People with moderate to severe forms of
thalassemia have inherited abnormal genes
from both parents.
16. SIGN & SYMPTOMS OF
THALASSEMIA
Severity of symptoms depends on the severity of the
disorder.
Alpha thalassemia - No signs or symptoms of the disorder.
Mild Anemia- People feel tired.
Beta thalassemia- Slowed growth and delayed puberty.
Severe Thalassemia-Pale and listless appearance, Poor
appetite, Slowed growth and delayed puberty.
17. DIAGNOSE OF THALASSEMIA
Complete blood count (CBC) – provide amount of
hemoglobin and the different kinds of blood cells.
Special hemoglobin tests - Types of hemoglobin in
a blood.
18. TREATMENT OF THALASSEMIA
Blood Transfusions - Main treatment for people
who have moderate or severe thalassemias.
Red blood cells live for only about 120 days.
Thalassemia Major - Need regular blood
transfusions ( every 21 days).
It is expensive and carry a risk of transmitting
infections and viruses.
IRCS provide calferal to remove excessive Iron
from body.
19. IRON CHELATION THERAPY
Needed to remove excess iron from the body.
Deferasirox is a pill taken once a day.
Deferoxamine is a liquid medicine that's given
slowly under the skin.
Folic Acid Supplements: - Folic acid is a B vitamin
that helps build healthy red blood cells.

26. ANALYSIS OF STUDENTS
We have made questionnaire for students and from
that we have analyze that most of student know
about Thalassemia but not in detail but they know
that it is necessary to test before marriage.
27. SUGGESTION
Government should organize awareness
programme of Thalassemia in colleges.
The Leader of each and every cast and society
organize seminar for the same.
Government should make a compulsory test for
Thalassemia and it should be free of charge.
Government should make a compulsory blood
donation for healthy people
28. LIMITATIONS OF STUDY
Sample size of 50 units cannot give accurate
conclusion regarding students awareness.
This research is done only for the students of
Gandhinagar not for the students of other cities of
Gujarat or India.
Research works, analysis, interpretation and finding
are influences by time constrains
There may be possibilities for Bias or dishonesty on
the part of respondents.
