Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Sideroblastic anemia is not related to Down's syndrome.
Hepatosplenomegaly- enlargement of liver and spleen can occur in children with anemia.
Please consult a haematologist, as good treatments are available for Sideroblastic anemia, and it has a good prognosis after treatment.
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology)
