Is anemia curable?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: That all depends on the cause of the anemia. There are many causes of anemia. If due to a vitamin/mineral deficiency like fe, b12, or folate, (folic acid) then usually you can "cure" the anemia by appropriate supplementation. If due to something like thalassemia, then not really but it can be managed.

Depends: There are many types of anemia, and several causes for each type. Some are curable, others aren't.
