At Manipal Hospitals, anaemia management begins with a comprehensive clinical assessment to determine the type, severity, and underlying cause in both adults and children. Advanced diagnostic tests, including complete blood count, iron studies, and peripheral smear, are performed. Specialised investigations such as haemoglobin electrophoresis, genetic testing, or bone marrow examination may be recommended when indicated.
Treatment is individualised based on the diagnosis. Iron deficiency anaemia is managed with oral or intravenous iron therapy, along with dietary counselling. In moderate to severe cases, especially when oral therapy is ineffective or not tolerated, intravenous iron may be administered. Chronic or inherited anaemia may require blood transfusions, iron chelation therapy, or immunosuppressive treatment. Children with inherited blood disorders receive specialised paediatric haematology care focused on long-term monitoring and complication prevention.
With timely diagnosis, regular follow-up, and compassionate multidisciplinary care, most patients achieve symptom relief, stable haemoglobin levels, and improved overall quality of life.
