Even if I do not have anaemia, is it possible for me to be treated with an anti-anaemic treatment?

Yes, at the Unit we assess which medical, interventional or surgical procedure should be performed and whether it carries a low, medium or high risk of bleeding. Depending on your personal characteristics, your condition, your medical history, and whether you are undergoing any medical treatment, we may offer you a pharmacological supplement to raise your haemoglobin level.

For this reason, it is important to contact the Unit at least 3-4 weeks before the procedure in order to diagnose and ensure an optimal haemoglobin level prior to surgery.
