What are the Symptoms and Complications of Hemoglobin Disorders?
Symptoms of hemoglobin disorders can vary depending on the specific condition and its severity. Common symptoms include chronic fatigue, jaundice, and episodes of pain. In sickle cell disease, patients may experience vaso-occlusive crises, which are painful episodes caused by sickle-shaped red blood cells blocking blood flow. Thalassemia can lead to severe anemia and require regular blood transfusions.
