Title: can any member reply for beta thal and sickle cell?
Post by: Mubeen on May 17, 2017, 04:42:24 AM
My son is 20 months and is beta thal and sickle cell .he has
 taken hydroxyurea and folic acid plus lots of vitamins last 8 months.
He is currently doing fine and much active but his growth is slow and his weight is 9.5 kg just. . We have yet to find out the effects
Of HU on his hb which is 8 to 9 last one year consistently.

But my question is can he should be taken wheat grass? .
HBF was 35.7 % and HBA was at 17.3 % HB S 42.9 and HB A2 4.1 % and no any blood transfusion ever.
