Private Iron Clinic
in Cambridge
Anaemia
Globally, anaemia affects 1.6 billion people (25% of the world’s population) and is more
common in women, especially during and after pregnancy and associated with heavy
periods. It is also more common in people with a vegetarian or vegan diet and in athletes.
Iron Deficiency
Iron deficiency is the most common nutrient disorder in the world and the most common
cause of anaemia worldwide.
B12
Deficiency
B12 deficiency is also known as Pernicious Anaemia. B12 deficiency and Pernicious Anaemia are one and the same thing. Patients are rarely anaemic as such but the symptoms come from the low levels of B12.
Signs & Symptoms
The most common symptoms are fatigue, exhaustion, brain fog and restless legs.
Treatment
We offer an intravenous infusion of iron in 30 mins, which is the equivalent of taking iron tablets for 2 years.
