Risks & possible complications
- Risks are primarily associated with diagnostic tests, not the diagnosis itself. For blood draws: minor pain, bruising, or lightheadedness.
- For bone marrow biopsy (if needed): pain at the site, bleeding, infection, or very rarely, injury to nearby structures.
- If left untreated, the underlying anemia can lead to severe fatigue, heart complications like an enlarged heart or heart failure, and compromised immune function.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Recovery from diagnostic blood tests is immediate; normal activities can be resumed right away.
- If a bone marrow biopsy is performed, rest is advised for 24-48 hours, avoiding strenuous activity.
- Keep the biopsy site clean and dry as instructed; watch for signs of infection.
- The primary recovery involves following the prescribed treatment plan (e.g., taking iron supplements, dietary changes, managing underlying disease).
- Follow-up blood tests are crucial to monitor the response to treatment and adjust therapy as needed.
