How to prepare
- Compile a detailed personal and family medical history, including diet, medications, and bleeding history.
- Fasting may be required for 8-12 hours before initial blood tests, depending on the tests ordered.
- Bring a list of all current medications, supplements, and vitamins.
- Wear comfortable clothing for the physical examination.
- Be prepared to discuss symptoms in detail, including their onset, duration, and severity.
Risks & possible complications
- Diagnostic risks are minimal, primarily limited to minor bruising or discomfort at blood draw sites.
- Treatment-related risks depend on the therapy: oral iron can cause constipation or nausea; IV iron may rarely cause allergic reactions.
- Incorrect diagnosis could lead to ineffective treatment or delay in managing a serious underlying condition.
- Overtreatment with supplements (like iron) can lead to toxicity (hemochromatosis).
- If underlying severe causes (like cancers or bone marrow failure) are present, delayed treatment poses significant health risks.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Recovery is primarily based on correcting the underlying cause. Improvement in energy levels can begin within weeks for nutritional deficiencies.
- Follow-up blood tests are crucial to monitor hemoglobin levels and treatment effectiveness.
- Adhere strictly to prescribed supplement regimens and dietary recommendations (e.g., iron-rich foods, vitamin C to enhance absorption).
- Manage any side effects of treatment (e.g., taking iron with food to reduce stomach upset).
- Address lifestyle factors: ensure adequate rest, moderate exercise as tolerated, and avoid activities that cause excessive fatigue.
