The goal of treatment is to find out the cause of the anemia, and the treatment depends on the cause. Anemias related to vitamin deficiencies are discussed separately.

The outcome is expected to be good with treatment.

Complications vary with the cause of the anemia.

Call for an appointment with your health care provider if symptoms develop.
