The reason behind the failure of Nikoleta's anaemia was due to an inherited genetic condition referred to as "Beta-thalassemia".
In this condition, there's the absence of a beta haemoglobin chain affecting the oxygen-carrying capacity of the body tissue.
Treating the patient with iron will not suffice for the condition as there's adequate iron but haemoglobin possesses a defect.
Why did the treatment fail?
She may have anaemia, but that doesn't necessarily mean she lacks iron, therefore this medication would not have been successful.
- It's feasible that administering iron to her might provide her body with more iron than it needs.
- The malfunctioning beta proteins in Nikoleta's haemoglobin were the real cause of her anaemia.
- If the family had a history of this form of anaemia, it was likely discovered through family history or through blood tests as the ailment could be inherited.
Hence, the answer is Beta-thalassemia.
