Common Blood Disorders We Treat

Our experienced team treats a variety of blood-related conditions, especially those frequently seen in adults. Some of the common blood disorders and issues we manage include:

• Anemia (Low Red Blood Cell Count): Anemia occurs when your body doesn’t have enough healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin to carry oxygen. This often leads to symptoms like persistent fatigue, weakness, and dizziness. Anemia is usually a sign of an underlying issue – often a nutritional deficiency or a chronic medical condition. Our specialists determine the type and cause of your anemia through detailed blood tests. We then address the root cause, whether it means replenishing iron or vitamins, treating an underlying illness, or stopping any source of blood loss. By targeting what’s causing the anemia, we help restore your energy and improve your overall health.
• Iron Deficiency: Iron is an essential mineral needed to produce hemoglobin. Iron deficiency is a leading cause of anemia in adults and can result from factors like inadequate diet, chronic blood loss (for example, heavy menstrual periods), or problems absorbing iron. If you’re low in iron, you may feel extremely tired, weak, or dizzy. We thoroughly investigate why your iron is low and then correct it. Treatment includes guidance on iron-rich nutrition and usually iron supplements to build your levels back up. In more severe cases or if oral supplements aren’t suitable, we can administer iron infusions (intravenous iron therapy) at our clinic to safely and quickly replenish your iron stores.
• Vitamin B12 Deficiency: Vitamin B12 is crucial for healthy blood cell production and nerve function. Adults may develop vitamin B12 deficiency due to dietary habits (such as strict vegetarian diets), certain digestive disorders, or medications. This deficiency can cause anemia and symptoms beyond tiredness – for example, numb or tingling hands and feet, or difficulty with memory and concentration. If we find your B12 levels are low, treatment is highly effective. Our doctors will replace B12 with injections or high-dose oral supplements, depending on what’s appropriate for you. Many patients notice improved energy and relief from symptoms once their B12 levels are restored. We’ll also give you advice to prevent future deficiencies, like dietary tips or scheduling periodic B12 booster shots if needed.
• Low Platelet Count (Thrombocytopenia): Platelets are the cells that help your blood clot to stop bleeding. Thrombocytopenia refers to having a lower than normal platelet count. When platelets are low, you might bruise easily, have frequent nosebleeds or bleeding gums, or find that cuts take longer to stop bleeding. There are many possible causes for low platelets – it could be a temporary effect of an infection, a side effect of a medication, or an immune-related condition. Our haematology team will work carefully to determine why your platelet count is low. Then we tailor the treatment to address that cause. This might involve adjusting a medication, treating an underlying illness, or prescribing therapy to help raise your platelet count. If the situation is complex or the count is very low, we will ensure you receive advanced care promptly by coordinating with specialised haematology services.

Advanced Treatments: Medications and Infusion Therapy

After diagnosing your condition, we employ the most effective treatment options, tailored to your situation. Many blood disorders, especially those related to deficiencies, can be treated successfully with medications. For instance, if you are diagnosed with iron or B12 deficiency, our doctors will prescribe the proper supplements or medications to replace what your body is lacking. We choose the right dose and form (whether pills or injections) to ensure you recover safely and quickly.

In cases where a faster response is needed or oral medications aren’t sufficient, we offer infusion therapy on-site at our Dubai clinic. Infusion therapy delivers treatment directly into your bloodstream via IV under medical supervision. Examples include iron infusions for severe iron deficiency anemia – intravenous iron can rapidly improve iron levels when pills would be too slow or not tolerated. We also provide IV vitamin therapies and other specialised infusions when indicated (for example, intravenous immunoglobulin for certain immune-related platelet problems). These infusions take place in a comfortable setting, with our medical team monitoring you throughout the process for safety.

Throughout treatment, our focus is on your comfort and recovery. We will monitor your blood counts and symptoms closely, adjusting your plan as needed. Additionally, you’ll receive guidance on lifestyle and nutrition that can support your treatment and help prevent future issues. By combining medication, infusion therapy, and personalised health advice, we aim to achieve the best possible outcomes and long-term wellness for you.
