Important Points to REMEMBER |
- Doing Blood test for Thalassaemia Minor is very important for:
Youngsters who are not married
Those who are married and planning to have a child, even if they have already had children
- The test can be done at any age, but only once in one’s lifetime
- If one is a Thalassaemia Minor, it is very important that the spouse/ spouse-to-be is also tested for Thalassaemia Minor
- If one of the two partners in a marriage is not a Thalassaemia Minor there is nothing to worry
- If both partners in a marriage are Thalassaemia Minor, a Pre Natal test should be done if they want to have children
