Iron Infusion

Iron infusions are prescribed to patients diagnosed with anemia, which manifests as chronic fatigue syndrome, increased fatigue, apathy, anxiety, frequent dizziness, and ringing in the ears.

Important Information on Intravenous Iron Infusions
For safe and effective administration of intravenous iron infusions, several important conditions must be met:

1. Availability of Recent Laboratory Tests.
Blood tests no older than 3 months are required to assess the need for IV iron.
Mandatory indicators include:

Complete Blood Count (CBC):

• Hemogram with 5-part differential (leukocyte formula)

Biochemistry:

• Total Protein
• Albumin
• Vitamin B12, Folic Acid
• Ferritin
• Iron
• Transferrin
• Soluble Transferrin Receptors
• Transferrin Saturation
• Degree of Transferrin Saturation
• Reticulocyte Count
• C-Reactive Protein (CRP)
• Homocysteine

The cost of these tests in our clinic is 125€

2. Decision is Made Only After Specialist Consultation
Iron infusion can be prescribed only after an in-person or online consultation, where the specialist evaluates:

• clinical symptoms
• test results
• co-morbidities
• possible risks and contraindications.

Consultation to identify the cause of anemia and recommendations for restoring iron in the blood.
60 min – 50€
In case the infusion is performed, the consultation fee is included in the infusion price.

Iron infusions are not prescribed “on request” — they are administered strictly according to medical indications.

3. Rules for Blood Sampling Preparation
To obtain correct results, it is important to follow these recommendations:

• Do not donate blood during menstruation. Optimal — 3–7 days after the cycle ends.
• Do not take Vitamin B12, folic acid, or other supplements for at least 1 month before the test to avoid distorting results.
• Donate blood on an empty stomach, in the morning hours.

4. The Procedure is Not Performed Without Recent Tests

This is necessary to prevent risks of iron overload and other complications.
