Could having Marfan s cause anemia?
Patient: Is it possible Marfan s could cause anemia? I have severe anemia (iron: 11; hemoglobin: 8.7; and I do not have any external bleeding issues that would cause such a drastic anemia. I do have a heart condition (Marfans) with very poor circulation and would like Doctor: Welcome to H.C.M.I am Dr Krishna Dubey.Dear friend , severe anemia can be seen in Marfan syndrome but this is not common. I advise you to repeat complete blood count with peripheral blood filmto rule out type of anemia and further management.Some cases are reported of Marfan syndrome with systemic vasculitis presenting as severe anemia. No need to worry because anemia can be treated.Thanx for query.
