Transfusion dependent anemia

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not an actual type of anaemia. Describes an anaemia where body is unable to compensate for losses of red bloods cells. Should be merged into Anemia Tom (LT) (talk) 00:28, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Addit: To be clear, transfusion dependent anaemia describes anaemia that is transfusion dependent (ie because of ongoing blood loss, iron deficiency, inability to replace cells, ongoing haemolysis etc.). It's not an actual pathological subtype. It's confusing and will waste the time of future editors to have this as a duplicate article. --Tom (LT) (talk) 00:31, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

I understand that you may think this article should not exist as an independent article but I acquired this topic from the requested articles on Wikipedia, therefore I definitely think there is interest in the topic and it should not just be a sub category of another article. I am happy to make further improvements to the article wherever people may find it necessary but I do not believe it should be removed all together. Munchkaa (talk) 00:49, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
