The type of anemia we get is
hemolytic anemia, meaning that the red blood cells are lysed
and iron will not fix that. That said, some people with HCV have excess iron built up, so that is why iron is not good. I used to think the the virus liked the iron, but I think that is not true.
For the anemia, I think there is a good chance he will improve once incivek is completed, but no gurantee. I hope his Dr. is on top of that or will be soon. I had a fairly HCV inexperienced Dr.
