What is Thalasemia minor?

My husband and son have Thalassemia Minor.\n\nI think the biggest problem for people that have this is confusion when blood tests are run.  If a doctor does not know you have Thalassemia Minor, then they may continue testing and testing to find out why your hemoglobin is abnormal.\n\nHere is some of the information I found while researching it.\n\nThalassemia Minor or Thalassemia Trait. In this condition, the lack of beta protein is not great enough to cause problems in the normal functioning of the hemoglobin. A person with this condition simply carries the genetic trait for thalassemia and will usually experience no health problems other than a possible mild anemia. As in mild alpha thalassemia, physicians often mistake the small red blood cells of the person with beta thalassemia minor as a sign of iron-deficiency anemia and incorrectly prescribe iron supplements.\n\nGood Luck

You might be refering to Gaucher disease. It is an inherited, enzyme deficiency, disorder. Symptoms range from mild to severe and can appear at any time, from infancy to old age.\n\nThese Gaucher symptons may include anaemia, fatigue, easy bruising and a tendency to bleed. An enlarged spleen and liver may also occur in Gaucher disease as well as bone pain, degeneration and fractures. That is probably why the parent is going to have a hip surgery.

Definitions of Galactosemia \n\na rare hereditary disease leading not only to cirrhosis in infants, but more seriously, to early devastating illness if not diagnosed quickly.\nwww.theliverfoundationforkids.org/glossary.html\n\nGalactosemia is a disorder that affects how the body processes certain sugars (sugar metabolism). This condition results when the body is not able to process the sugar galactose, which is found in many foods. Galactose also exists as part of another sugar, lactose, found in all dairy products. Liver dysfunction, cataracts (clouding of the lens of the eye), speech problems, and mental impairment are characteristic of this condition if not treated.\ngoldbamboo.com/glossary-1g.html\n\nAn inherited condition resulting in the inability of the body to digest one of the sugars (galactose) found in breast and cow's milk. The resulting accumulation of galactose in the body's system can cause many problems, including liver damage, cataracts, mental retardation and possible death.\nwww.health.state.mo.us/NewbornScreening/Glossary.html\n\nhttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&oi=defmore&defl=en&q=define:Galactosemia\nhttp://www.galactosemia.org/galactosemia.htm

Thalassemia is the name of a group of genetic blood disorders. To understand how thalassemia affects the human body, you must first understand a little about how blood is made.\n\n Hemoglobin is the oxygen-carrying component of the red blood cells. It consists of two different proteins, an alpha and a beta. If the body doesn't produce enough of either of these two proteins, the red blood cells do not form properly and cannot carry sufficient oxygen. The result is anemia that begins in early childhood and lasts throughout life.\n\nSince thalassemia is not a single disorder but a group of related disorders that affect the human body in similar ways, it is important to understand the differences between the various types of thalassemia.

Yep it's called Jaundice and that usually happens if there is some dysfunction in the liver.  PLEASE see your doctor ASAP so they can figure out what's causing it.  If it's a newborn infant that's very treatable and common.  If you are talking about an adult, it is very serious and needs to be addressed TODAY!

Bronze diabetes (hemochromatosis) \n \nA genetic disease in which the body takes in too much iron from food; this causes excess iron to be deposited in the liver and heart and other organs, eventually leading to organ failure and death. This illness is called "bronze diabetes" because the kidneys often fail, leading to symptoms similar to those found with diabetes mellitus, and because the deposition of iron into the skin makes the person look like he or she has an all-over tan.\nIt used to be believed that this disease was rare and mainly affected people of Caucasian descent, but in recent years scientists have realized it is more common and affects a wide range of ethnic groups. Some believe that this genetic defect actually helps people (especially women) survive in areas where malnutrition is widespread and iron is scarce in food.\nRegular bloodletting (or blood donation) may help people suffering from this disease.

Petit mal seizure — also known as absence seizure — is a type of seizure that most often occurs in children. An abnormal electrical discharge in the brain causes seizures. Other types of seizures include grand mal seizure and temporal lobe seizure.\n\nUsually, a petit mal seizure involves only a brief, sudden lapse of conscious activity. Each seizure lasts only seconds or minutes, but hundreds may occur each day. During a petit mal seizure, small jerks sometimes occur involving the facial muscles or hands. A person who experiences a petit mal seizure can usually resume normal activities immediately after the seizure ends.\n\nRepeated seizures characterize a seizure disorder known as epilepsy. Only a small percentage of people who have seizures will develop epilepsy. Medications can be effective in eliminating or reducing the number of seizures.

"Systemic candidiasis is candidal infection throughout the body. This condition is rare. In systemic candidal disease, up to 75% of people may die. Even common mouth and vaginal yeast infections can cause critical illness and can be more resistant to normal treatment. This rash can manifest with bruises that can be felt. The bruises result from a reaction and response to Candida in blood vessels. Systemic yeast infections that return may be a sign of more serious diseases such as diabetes, leukemia, or AIDS."

You mean "Transient Ischemic Attacks".  These are sometimes called "mini-strokes" by some people.  They are short lasting episodes where small parts of the brain do not receive enough oxygen.
