My sister is only 12, but the doctor said she has anemia. what is the prognosis for someone so young?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on cause..: There are many causes of anemia. Some of them are diet related (iron deficiency), others can be caused by chronic inflammation, auto-antibodies, inherited disorders of hemoglobin, or processes occurring in the bone marrow. The prognosis completely depends on the cause. Many causes of anemia are treatable.
