  4. Diseases/Treatment • Some diseases of this system includeaplastic anemia and iron-deficiency anemia. • Aplastic Anemia is when your body is not making enough blood cells to replace the ones being lost. Treatment for this is a blood transfusion or bone marrow transplant. • Iron-deficiency anemia deals with a lack of iron being consumed and stored in your body. This disease can be treated with Iron supplements. • Some other forms are lymphomas (infections involving lymph nodes) myelomas (cancerous) • Another key element to helping your lymphatic system is eating healthy.
