Disease Features other congenital anaemias, not elsewhere classified
Absence or low individual and public risk
Other congenital anaemias, not elsewhere classified - what does this mean
Other congenital anaemias, not elsewhere classified, occur when there is an inherited defect in the production or function of red blood cells, leading to a decrease in the number of circulating red blood cells and a subsequent decrease in the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood.
What happens during the disease - other congenital anaemias, not elsewhere classified
Other congenital anaemias, not elsewhere classified, are a group of anaemias caused by genetic defects that affect the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow. these defects can be caused by mutations in genes involved in the production of haemoglobin, deficiencies in the production of haemoglobin, or an impaired ability of red blood cells to transport oxygen. the result of these defects is a decrease in the number and quality of red blood cells, leading to anaemia.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Complete blood count (CBC)
- Blood smear examination
- Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy
- Genetic testing
- Serum ferritin level
- Serum iron level
- Serum total iron-binding capacity (TIBC)
- Urine hemosiderin
- Haptoglobin level
- Liver function tests
- Thyroid function tests
- Serum vitamin B12 and folate levels
- Fasting blood glucose
- Serum copper and ceruloplasmin levels
- Serum zinc level
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To reduce the symptoms of the disease and improve the quality of life of the patient.
- Regular monitoring of blood count and iron levels
- Iron and folic acid supplementation
- Blood transfusions as needed
- Bone marrow transplantation
- Gene therapy
- Erythropoietin therapy
- Enzyme replacement therapy
- Stem cell transplantation
- Nutritional and lifestyle modifications
- Avoiding drugs that can cause anaemia
11 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Other congenital anaemias, not elsewhere classified - Prevention
Prevention of other congenital anaemias, not elsewhere classified can be achieved through proper prenatal care, including avoiding exposure to environmental toxins, taking a balanced diet, and avoiding alcohol and smoking during pregnancy. genetic counselling prior to conception can also help identify any potential risk factors and help reduce the risk of the baby developing the condition.
