Beta-thalassemia differential diagnosis

Beta-thalassemia disease symptoms are having a wide range and can be similar to various other diseases such as:

• Iron deficiency anemia
• Sideroblastic anemia
• Alpha-thalassemia
• Sickle cell anemia
• Hemolytic anemia
• Other hemoglobinopathies and other causes of chronic anemia

However, the diagnosis and differentiation would be properly performed after electrophoresis of hemoglobin, DNA analysis, and iron level assessments.
