**Aase syndrome is helped by specialist treatment for anemia and care for associated bone, joint, or heart problems.**
Your treatment depends on your age, blood counts, symptoms, and any associated health problems. Aase syndrome is considered part of Diamond-Blackfan anemia, in which your bone marrow makes too few red blood cells. Your blood specialist may recommend transfusions or prednisone after reviewing its benefits and risks. Keep scheduled blood tests and track changes in your energy, breathing, and activity tolerance.
How Aase syndrome is treated
Common questions
What helps Aase syndrome?
Aase syndrome needs a blood specialist to treat anemia and coordinate care for associated physical differences. If you or your child has this condition, treatment may include blood transfusions, especially during infancy, or prednisone under specialist supervision. A bone marrow transplant may be considered if other treatments fail. Keep blood test appointments and report increasing tiredness, paleness, or breathlessness. Ask your clinician about care for joint or heart problems and genetic counseling when planning a pregnancy.
