What is Therapeutic Phlebotomy?
Therapeutic phlebotomy involves the controlled removal of blood, called Secondary Erythrocytosis; a condition where the body produces too many red blood cells due to an underlying condition, from the body to reduce excess iron levels or address certain medical conditions. This procedure is similar to a standard blood donation but is performed for therapeutic reasons. By reducing iron overload, therapeutic phlebotomy helps prevent potential complications associated with elevated iron levels, such as liver damage and heart problems.
What Treatment Looks Like
During a therapeutic phlebotomy session, you will be comfortably seated while a trained healthcare professional will insert a needle into your vein, typically in the arm. A specific amount of blood—usually around 500 mL—is drawn, and the session generally lasts about 30-45 minutes. The frequency of treatment varies based on individual needs but is typically scheduled every few weeks until optimal iron levels are achieved.
