A member asked:
If an obese person loses weight, will his anemia go away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generally not: Although weight loss will help many, many potential medical problems, anemia needs a complete work-up and specific treatment dedicated to eliminating the cause and treating the deficiencies.
