  • hemolytic anemia treatment includes taking drugs that suppress the immune system or gamma globulin. If the spleen is enlarged, the spleen may need be removed.
  •  Sickle cell anemia treatment includes blood transfusions, folic acid supplies to the marrow transplant and cancer drugs such as hydroxyurea.
