Do you have a haematological condition requiring monitoring in Brisbane or SEQ?
As a Clinical Haematologist who also trained in laboratory haematology FRCPA (1974), I can provide medical advice on non-malignant haematology including anaemia, polycythaemia, cytopenia, and haemochromatosis, as well as ongoing monitoring of your condition.
Iron deficiency anaemia is very common but not always understood. My article explains the mechanisms and treatment for iron deficiency anaemia (microcytic anaemia).
I have a special interest in haemochromatosis, and the monitoring of ferritin levels to determine when and when not to venesect (take blood off). This is a subject that often causes confusion when people are erroneously diagnosed as having haemochromatosis on the basis of a mild increase in serum ferritin and only one of the genetic abnormalities being found (Heterozygous condition).
