How to use "Mediterranean anaemia" in context?
The Mediterranean Anaemia (Mediterranean-type haemolytic anaemia; MTHA) is a blood disorder caused by a deficiency of the red blood cell protein haemoglobin. Patients with Mediterranean anaemia have a reduced number of red blood cells and these are characterised by a poor ability to transport oxygen to the body's tissues. As a result, cells suffer from oxygen starvation and can die. In most cases, the disorder develops due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Treatment typically includes regular blood transfusions and the medication erythropoietin (EPO).
