Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Red cell exchange is now one of the best methods to reduce damage and also improve anemia.
2. Regular transfusion is necessary. However, you can try red cell exchange.
3. Watching out for hemoglobin levels, to be in normal range, is adequate for improvement.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
