Overview

Sideroblastic anemia is caused by the abnormal production of red blood cells as part of myelodysplastic syndrome, which can evolve into hematological malignancies (especially acute myelogenous leukemia). Thus, the body has iron available, but cannot incorporate it into hemoglobin.

Treatment

Surgery

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