Hi... you have not mentioned the diagnosis for which she underwent exchange transfusion immediately after she was born. Nevertheless, I think her present condition may or may not be related to her past history. To diagnose the cause of anemia she will need to undergo a blood examination which will give a clue to the diagnosis. This has to to be further confirmed by a bone marrow test if needed. You need to consult a haematologist for this.
