Therapeutic phlebotomy, often called “blood dumping,” is designed to lower red blood cell concentration by removing a carefully measured amount of blood. Commonly recommended for conditions such as hereditary hemochromatosis, polycythemia vera, and porphyria cutanea tarda, this treatment helps manage iron overload and reduce cardiovascular strain by regulating blood thickness. For individuals, especially men using testosterone therapy or performance enhancement, routine blood dumping is beneficial in monitoring and controlling elevated hemoglobin levels, which is a common side effect.
In addition to therapeutic phlebotomy, we offer hemoglobin testing at Revive IV Lounge in Buford, GA. This testing provides a detailed view of blood health, allowing us to precisely monitor hemoglobin levels to ensure they’re in the recommended range. For patients with high hemoglobin levels, testing ensures that blood dumping is performed when necessary, keeping your body balanced and reducing the risk of conditions caused by excess blood thickness, such as headaches, dizziness, fatigue, and cardiovascular issues.

Blood dumping is a carefully monitored procedure that reduces hemoglobin and hematocrit levels by removing a precise amount of blood. This treatment improves blood flow and alleviates symptoms associated with high red blood cell counts, such as fatigue, dizziness, and cardiovascular strain.
This efficient process ensures same-day testing and treatment, immediately managing elevated hemoglobin levels and supporting overall blood health.
Hemoglobin testing is a quick, minimally invasive procedure that measures the amount of hemoglobin in your blood. This test provides valuable insights into your blood’s oxygen-carrying capacity and helps identify conditions like anemia or elevated red blood cell counts.
This process lets us detect changes early and tailor treatments, helping you maintain optimal blood health.
When hemoglobin levels are too high, the blood thickens, which can strain your cardiovascular system and increase the risk of severe health issues. Common symptoms and risks associated with high hemoglobin include:
Managing hemoglobin levels through regular testing and blood dumping, when necessary, supports overall well-being and reduces these risks.
Therapeutic phlebotomy, often called blood dumping, is a controlled procedure where a specific amount of blood is removed to reduce red blood cell counts and improve blood flow. By lowering hemoglobin and hematocrit levels—hematocrit is the percentage of red blood cells in your blood—this treatment decreases blood viscosity and prevents complications caused by thickened blood.
Blood dumping is beneficial for individuals managing conditions like hereditary hemochromatosis, polycythemia vera, and secondary polycythemia. It is also effective for those experiencing elevated hemoglobin levels due to testosterone therapy. This treatment helps reduce hemoglobin and hematocrit levels, alleviating symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, and headaches. By lowering blood viscosity, therapeutic phlebotomy supports cardiovascular health and reduces the strain caused by thickened blood.
Frequency varies depending on the individual and condition. Some patients may need monthly sessions, while others require less.
Therapeutic phlebotomy is generally safe when conducted by trained professionals. Mild side effects, such as lightheadedness, may occur but usually resolve quickly.
Yes, hemoglobin testing is useful for monitoring hemoglobin levels and ensuring phlebotomy sessions are both necessary and beneficial.
After undergoing therapeutic phlebotomy, many patients begin to feel symptom relief—such as reduced dizziness, headaches, and fatigue—within a few days as blood viscosity decreases and circulation improves. Hemoglobin testing is done while you wait, and the results are available within seconds.
