Thalassemia can be diagnosed through various tests, including:

1.Complete Blood Count (CBC): This test measures the number of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets in the blood. Abnormalities in these counts can indicate thalassemia.

2.Hemoglobin Electrophoresis: This test identifies the different types of hemoglobin present in the blood, helping to determine the specific type of thalassemia.

3.Genetic Testing: Genetic testing can confirm the presence of thalassemia genes and determine the likelihood of passing them on to future generations.
