Abstract
Cartilage hair hypoplasia (CHH) can lead to the development of anemia as a possible complication of this rare genetic disease. Despite various publications on anemia in CHH patients, a comprehensive review on this topic has not been conducted. This article reviews publications on anemia in CHH patients published from 1981 to 2022. Most authors have reported macrocytic anemia and blood transfusion as a common treatment approach in this patient group. Recommended guidelines for managing anemia in CHH patients include iron chelation therapy for those requiring multiple blood transfusions, regular assessment of anemia symptoms, red blood cell parameters, and immune system function. Future studies should evaluate the erythroid system in a larger cohort of CHH patients, considering key factors such as concurrent illnesses, age, height, and weight.
