Iron Infusion for Iron Deficiency in Berlin-Mitte

An iron infusion may be useful especially:

• with documented iron deficiency,
• low ferritin values,
• reduced transferrin saturation,
• symptoms despite “normal” hemoglobin,
• intolerance of iron tablets,
• insufficient effect of oral preparations,
• increased iron need,
• chronic iron loss
• or absorption disorders.

Before every treatment, we make an individual physician assessment based on symptoms and lab values.

Depending on the situation, we check among others:

• ferritin
• transferrin saturation
• hemoglobin
• iron
• CRP
• thyroid values

Fatigue or hair loss does not always have only one cause.

Before the infusion, there is a detailed physician consultation, individual findings discussion and medical information.

The iron solution is then administered slowly through a vein.

Depending on the preparation, the infusion usually takes about 30 to 45 minutes.

During treatment and for 30 minutes after the infusion, you remain under medical supervision in our practice.

Not every form of iron deficiency can be treated sufficiently with tablets.

An iron infusion may be useful especially for:

• intolerance of iron preparations
• gastrointestinal symptoms with tablets
• chronically low ferritin values
• absorption disorders
• more pronounced iron deficiency
• desire for faster replenishment of iron stores

This varies individually.

Some patients report after a few days or weeks:

• more energy,
• better resilience,
• less fatigue
• or reduced concentration problems.

Complete replenishment of iron stores usually takes more time and should be accompanied by lab monitoring.

Iron infusion is a private physician service according to GOÄ.

Costs start from €150.95*, depending on the preparation used.

Private health insurance or supplementary insurance may partially or fully cover the costs depending on the tariff.

*Actual costs depend on preparation, dosage and treatment effort.
