Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

Sideroblastic anemia is not related to Down's syndrome.

Hepatosplenomegaly- enlargement of liver and spleen can occur in children with anemia.

Please consult a haematologist, as good treatments are available for Sideroblastic anemia, and it has a good prognosis after treatment.

Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology)
