Medical Therapy

The anemia can be so severe that support with transfusion is required. These patients usually do not respond to erythropoietin therapy. Some cases have been reported that the anemia is reversed or heme level is improved through use of moderate to high doses of pyrodoxine (vitamin B6).

Surgery

In severe cases, bone marrow transplant is also an option with limited information about the success rate.
