Pancytopenia affects all three types of blood cells. But how long does it take to recover from it? Let’s break it down.
Recovery time varies. It can range from weeks to months, depending on whether it’s due to infection, nutrient deficiency, or bone marrow disorder.
If caused by B12, folate, or iron deficiencies, recovery may begin within 2–4 weeks of starting therapy.
Infections like dengue or viral hepatitis may reverse in 1–2 weeks after resolving the infection.
Conditions like aplastic anaemia or leukaemia may take several months or longer and require targeted treatment.
By targeting the underlying root causes and restoring balance through personalised nutrition, recovery becomes faster and more sustainable.
