Conditions we support
Therapeutic phlebotomy is used to treat 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 determines eligibility, target hemoglobin or ferritin levels, volume, and frequency.
