It can be, but if you werent admitted to the hospital, its probably mild. Dr. Amber Malik, DO
The answer to this question is very dependent on the cause. In most cases, the cause of an isolated anemia can be easily identified and treated. Anemias can range from mild to severe, so contact with your health care provider will help to sort out the possible causes and potential treatments.
If severe, anemia can cause death by lack of oxygen to vital organs such as the heart or brain.
