Sideroblastic anemia is a type of blood disorder characterized by the body's inability to properly incorporate iron into hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. This leads to the production of abnormal red blood cells called sideroblasts, which can be seen in the bone marrow. The condition can be caused by genetic factors, certain medications, or exposure to toxins. Symptoms of sideroblastic anemia may include fatigue, weakness, and pale skin due to reduced oxygen delivery to tissues. Diagnosis typically involves blood tests and a bone marrow examination. Treatment options may include vitamin B6 supplements, blood transfusions, or medications to manage symptoms and improve red blood cell production.
