Therapeutic Phlebotomy Services

At Tri-County Mobile Phlebotomy Services, we provide therapeutic phlebotomy—a specialized blood draw procedure designed to help manage conditions that require the removal of excess red blood cells or iron from the body. Our mobile service ensures that you receive this essential treatment in the comfort of your home, office, or preferred location, eliminating the need for long waits at clinics or hospitals.

What is Therapeutic Phlebotomy?

Therapeutic phlebotomy is a medically prescribed procedure where a specific amount of blood is removed to reduce iron overload, decrease blood viscosity, or manage certain blood disorders. It is commonly used to treat:

✅ Hemochromatosis – A condition where excess iron builds up in the body, potentially damaging the liver, heart, and pancreas.
✅ Polycythemia Vera – A disorder in which the bone marrow produces too many red blood cells, increasing the risk of clots, strokes, and heart attacks.
✅ Porphyria Cutanea Tarda (PCT) – A rare metabolic disorder where iron accumulation affects skin health.
✅ Erythrocytosis – An increase in red blood cell mass that can thicken the blood, reducing oxygen flow to organs.
✅ Other Conditions – As prescribed by a physician, including certain chronic liver diseases and rare genetic disorders.

By regularly removing a medically determined amount of blood, this procedure helps regulate blood composition, improving circulation and preventing serious complications.
