Anemia Management Consultation

Specialized, continuous, and personalized support to prevent, diagnose, and manage anemia safely and sustainably.

Anemia is one of the most widespread conditions globally, often remaining underdiagnosed or managed in a fragmented way, especially in women, individuals with heavy menstrual cycles, during pregnancy, children, elderly people, and those with chronic diseases.
A structured approach allows for:

·      early recognition of symptoms and causes (deficiency, inflammatory, renal, hereditary, etc.)

·      avoiding unnecessary or delayed diagnostic procedures

·      establishing a personalized treatment plan (supplementation, nutrition, medication, monitoring)

·      better coordination among general practitioner, specialists, laboratory, and patient

The consultation is designed as an ongoing support process, not as a one-off opinion.

‍

- Structured Medical History
Review of symptoms, clinical history, medications, diet, menstrual cycles, pregnancies, any chronic illnesses, or family history.

- Review of Lab Results
Informed interpretation of complete blood count, ferritin, serum iron, transferrin, vitamin B12, folate, and other available tests, with clear, non-technical explanations.

- Diagnostic Hypothesis and Plan for Further Investigation
We identify possible types of anemia and suggest any further tests, clarifying what is truly necessary and what is not, and when it is appropriate to involve a hematologist or other specialists.

- Collaborative Treatment Plan
Guidance on:

o   correct use of iron supplements (oral or intravenous), vitamin B12, folate

o   management of side effects and treatment adherence

o   practical advice on diet and lifestyle habits that support treatment

- Ongoing Support
Planning of check-ups, follow-up on test results, and adaptation of therapy based on response and situation (pregnancy, surgical procedures, chronic conditions, etc.).

What this consultation is NOT

- It does not replace the relationship with your treating physician or with the hematologist specialist.

- It is not an emergency service or urgent care.

- It does not directly prescribe medications or tests, but provides a structured guide to share with your healthcare providers.

How it works in practice

1. Send an initial introductory email explaining the reason for your consultation request; based on this, we will indicate the next steps on a case-by-case basis:

2.    Online booking of the consultation (first visit or follow-up).

3.    Submission of tests and a short questionnaire before the meeting.

4.    Meeting with the specialist, remotely (indicative duration).

5.    Summary Report with clinical picture, recommendations, and next steps.

6.    Option for scheduled follow-ups to monitor treatment and tests.

Why is this type of support different?

- Specialized and multidisciplinary approach (hematology, internal medicine, gynecology, nutrition – depending on your network).

- Use of digital tools to monitor values, symptoms, and treatment adherence over time.

- Focus on categories with specific needs (women, pregnancies, elderly, chronic patients) and coordinated pathways with your other services (menstrual health, pregnancy, etc.).
