Therapeutic phlebotomy in Chicago, Illinois
Speedy Sticks performs therapeutic phlebotomy at home under your clinician's order. We follow your protocol precisely — volume, frequency, monitoring labs, and lab routing. Your provider determines eligibility and sets the schedule. Chicago's healthcare landscape is anchored by Northwestern Medicine, Rush University Medical Center, and the University of Chicago Medicine, serving a large and diverse patient population across dozens of neighborhoods.
Clinical prerequisites
Therapeutic phlebotomy requires a valid clinician order and an active monitoring plan. Confirm the diagnosis-specific criteria, target volume, and draw cadence with your provider before scheduling your first visit.
Conditions we support
Therapeutic phlebotomy treats conditions where excess blood or iron accumulation causes clinical harm. Common diagnoses include:
**Hereditary hemochromatosis** — the most common genetic cause of iron overload; maintenance draws reduce ferritin to target range after initial depletion therapy
**Polycythemia vera** — a myeloproliferative disorder causing elevated red cell mass; regular phlebotomy reduces hyperviscosity risk
**Secondary polycythemia** — elevated hematocrit from chronic hypoxia (sleep apnea, COPD) or other secondary causes
**Porphyria cutanea tarda** — chronic phlebotomy reduces iron stores that drive porphyrin accumulation
Your clinician sets eligibility, target hemoglobin or ferritin levels, draw volume, and frequency.
