What is the Prognosis for Patients with Hemoglobinopathies?
The prognosis for patients with hemoglobinopathies varies. With appropriate medical care, individuals with Sickle Cell Disease can live into adulthood, although they may experience significant morbidity. Thalassemia patients, particularly those with Beta-Thalassemia major, require lifelong treatment but can have a good quality of life with proper management. Early diagnosis and advances in treatment continue to improve outcomes for these patients.
