What is Moderate Aplastic Anemia (MAA)?
MAA is the classification for those who have significantly reduced blood counts but not as reduced as occurs in severe Aplastic Anemia. In many cases, doctors will not prescribe treatment for moderate Aplastic Anemia patients but will simply monitor blood counts. Moderate Aplastic Anemia may remain unchanged for many years. Sometimes it is detected during a routine physical exam, or it may be discovered if it escalates to severe Aplastic Anemia, as it begins causing more symptoms.
