 Treatment of HHT is symptomatic ( it deals with the symptoms rather than the disease itself ) , as there is no therapy that stops the development of telangiectasias and AVMs directly . Furthermore , some treatments are applied to prevent the development of common complications . Chronic nosebleeds and digestive tract bleeding can both lead to anemia ; if the bleeding itself cannot be completely stopped , the anemia requires treatment with iron supplements . Those who cannot tolerate iron tablets or solutions may require administration of intravenous iron sucrose , and blood transfusion if the anemia is causing severe symptoms that warrant rapid improvement of the blood count .
