The results of several routine blood tests red blood cell volume mcv between 80.3-83.2, red blood cell hemoglobin content mch at 26.1-27.54, red blood cell count rbc at 5.76-6.09, hemoglobin concentration hgb 156-165 (normal), serum ferritin (normal), is the probability of thalassemia high?Male 28 years old
Condition Analysis:
Hi, low average red blood cell volume, low average red blood cell hemoglobin content and low average hemoglobin concentration in routine blood tests can be attributed to iron deficiency anemia or thalassemia.At present, your hemoglobin is normal, so there should be no need to worry, and even if a definite diagnosis of thalassemia can be made, no treatment is needed at present.In addition, for your question, the possibility of thalassemia cannot be determined from this routine blood result.We suggest that if you are really worried, you can go to the hematology department and have your blood drawn to see the serum iron first, if it is normal, you can further check the hemoglobin electrophoresis and thalassemia gene test to clarify the diagnosis.Also, where are you from? Thalassemia is more common in southern areas such as Guangdong than in the north.
Condition Analysis:
Generally speaking, patients with thalassemia usually have low red blood cell counts, and in this case, you can consider doing a hemoglobin electrophoresis or genetic testing to see if thalassemia is a hereditary anemia, and generally speaking, children develop the disease mainly because their parents carry the causative gene.
Condition Analysis:
This is a hereditary disease, so first of all, we need to see if there is such a condition in the immediate family, such as parents.If not, we can basically rule it out. In addition, scientific evidence is needed to confirm the diagnosis of thalassemia, mainly to check the genetic situation
