 A genetic disorder causing the body to absorb and store too much iron.  Hereditary hemochromatosis causes the body to store too much iron, potentially damaging organs. Therapeutic phlebotomy safely removes blood, lowering iron levels and preventing accumulation in vital organs. Regular treatment helps maintain optimal iron levels and improves overall health. 

 Polycythemia vera is a chronic blood disorder marked by the overproduction of red blood cells, which can thicken the blood and increase the risk of clotting. Therapeutic phlebotomy is a vital treatment for this condition as it safely removes excess red blood cells from the bloodstream. By reducing the red blood cell count, therapeutic phlebotomy helps improve blood flow, decrease the risk of clots, and alleviate symptoms like fatigue and dizziness, promoting better overall health. 

  Secondary polycythemia involves an elevated red blood cell count resulting from underlying conditions, such as lung disease or kidney tumors. Therapeutic phlebotomy helps manage this by safely reducing the number of red blood cells, improving blood flow, and alleviating related symptoms. By addressing the symptoms and risks associated with increased blood thickness, it supports overall comfort and well-being. 

 Porphyria Cutanea Tarda (PCT) is a type of porphyria causing skin blistering due to the buildup of porphyrins in the body. Therapeutic phlebotomy helps manage PCT by safely reducing porphyrin levels. This reduction can alleviate skin symptoms, such as blistering and sensitivity to sunlight, promoting improved skin health and overall quality of life.
