Question
Hello, what is HbH disease? Are there any effective treatment methods? How should we understand this disease?
Answer
HbH disease, a type of thalassemia, is a genetic hemolytic disease. Some patients may only be carriers of the gene without any obvious symptoms, in which case regular health checks are sufficient. However, some patients may experience recurrent anemia symptoms and require regular blood transfusions. Under favorable conditions, bone marrow stem cell transplantation is one of the methods for a definitive cure. Some patients can achieve remission through bone marrow transplantation. It is recommended to undergo further genetic testing to determine the condition.
