Abstract
The prevalence of post-transplantation anemia
(PTA) ranges between 20 and 60% depending on the
criteria used for defining anemia, not only that, it is
also a common problem in pediatric studies (1, 2). The
three recent surveys enrolling the largest number of
patients reported a prevalence of 30-40%. Severe anemia,
requiring treatment based on current guidelines is less
frequent with prevalence rate of 10-15%
