Management of NTD thalassemia

Frequent monitoring and management of NTD patients with thalassemia is critical to identify and help mitigate the development of morbidities1,2

Pulmonary hypertension

Iron overload

Hypercoagulability

Thrombotic disease

Liver disease

Endocrine and bone disease

Leg ulcers

Extramedullary hematopoiesis

Patients with thalassemia should receive a long-term thalassemia management plan for optimal care3

Thalassemia treatment options are needed that target the underlying pathophysiology of thalassemia3

There are currently limited treatment options that specifically target ineffective erythropoiesis and hemolysis in NTD patients with alpha- or beta-thalassemia.

Connect your patients with a Clinical Nurse Educator (CNE), who works closely with patients, families, and their care teams to offer individualized support,* educational resources, and community connections.
