Question:

What is the average lifespan of Thalassemia patient?

Any one can help me ?


Answers:

It depends on the type of thalassemia one has. In more severe forms they typically die of heart failure by 40. But in less severe forms with constant blood transfusions and chelatian therapy they have no shortened life spans. A successful bone marrow transplant can actually cure it.
