This condition may be inherited or acquired and often results in abnormal accumulation of iron in the cells, leading to anemia and other systemic issues. Symptoms may include fatigue, weakness, and an enlarged liver or spleen. The types, severity, and prognosis of sideroblastic anemia can greatly vary.
