What is Therapeutic Venesection?

Therapeutic Venesection in Perth (also known as therapeutic phlebotomy) is the medical removal of blood to treat specific conditions.

While it is technically a form of “blood donation,” this blood is removed for your health rather than for a recipient. It is the primary treatment for Hereditary Hemochromatosis (where the body absorbs too much iron) and Polycythemia (too many red blood cells). This modern form of blood letting medical treatment is the safest, most effective way to “offload” iron and restore safe blood viscosity.

Our Venesection Services

Ongoing maintenance schedules to keep ferritin levels within the safe range and prevent iron toxicity.

Polycythemia Management

Removal of blood to reduce the thickness (viscosity) caused by an overproduction of red blood cells.

High Iron Levels Assessment

Investigation and management for patients with elevated iron who may not have the genetic hemochromatosis gene.

Ferritin Monitoring

Regular blood tests to determine exactly when your next Therapeutic Venesection in Perth is required.
