Management and treatment The two main therapeutic approaches are regular transfusions and long-term corticosteroid therapy. Treatment must be adapted to each case and according to the age of the patient. [orpha.net]

Current treatment options, including steroid treatments and chronic transfusions, can lead to significant morbidity. [medicalxpress.com]

Prognosis The prognosis is generally good. However, complications of treatment and a higher incidence of cancer may reduce life expectancy. Disease severity depends on the quality and response to treatment. [orpha.net]

Prognosis Prognosis varies among the different types of pure red cell aplasia (PRCA). Transient erythroblastopenia and other PRCA disorders in children and adults are benign with an excellent prognosis. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Etiology At present, disease-causing mutations are identified in 40-45% of patients. All involved genes code for ribosomal proteins (RPs) from either the small ( RPS7, RPS17, RPS19, RPS24 ) or the large ( RPL5, RPL11, RPL35a ) ribosomal subunit. [orpha.net]
