Anaemia - How to prevent?

Anaemia - Treatments

The treatment depends on the cause of the anaemia. Our haematologist will assess patients to determine the cause of the anaemia while treating it with a variety of options depending on the cause. This includes:

  • transfusion or red blood cells
  • infusions of iron
  • hormonal injections to boost red cell production
  • replacement of iron or vitamins and dietary advice
  • immunosuppressive medication to control an immune system that is destroying red blood cells

In anaemia due to blood cancers such as leukemias, myelomas, lymphomas or myelodysplastic syndrome we have dedicated teams in the blood cancer service who will assess and plan treatment with chemotherapy, immunotherapy or  haematopoietic stem cell transplant as needed.
