Why test bone marrow for anemia

2018-09-10 12:35:10
I am 19-years old, a female and was diagnosed with anemia last week. The prevalence of anemia is quite common and can be easily cured too so I don’t understand why I need to undergo a bone marrow biopsy for anemia. Can a doctor please explain why bone marrow for anemia is tested? Your guidance would help a lot!
