Why in patients with thalassemia eyes change color from white to yellow

Manal:
When blood breaks down (hemolysis), bilirubin is secreated as a result. Bilirubin is a yellow pigment and when it is secreated in large amounts ( this means that Hb is decreasing ) it changes the the fluids of the body (urine), skin and eyes to yellow

Hi there

it has been some time since i was last around.  How r u manal and how is Ahmad doing?

Do thal carriers also have hemolysis?

Andy Battaglia:
The amount of hemolysis that takes place in thal minors will be related to their overall Hb levels. A low level means that not enough normal red blood cells are produced and the irregular red blood cells will be filtered out by the body. This is hemolysis.

Manal:
