Anemia (cont.)

Outlook
How well someone with anemia will recover depends on the cause of the anemia and how severe it is. For example, if a stomach ulcer is causing anemia and it can be cured, then the anemia can be cured. If anemia is caused by kidney failure, however, then it most likely will require long-term treatment.
In general, young people recover from anemia more quickly than older people do. Younger people also tolerate anemia better than elderly people because elderly people tend to have more chronic medical problems. Anemia makes almost any medical problem worse.
