Iron is an essential part of healthy function in the human body – it is a central part of haemoglobin, which is used to transport oxygen through the bloodstream. Low iron levels can lead to less oxygen being delivered to your cells, which results in patients struggling with lethargy/tiredness. This is typically resolved through dietary modifications or supplements, however in some cases your doctor may decide that an iron infusion is required. Iron infusions can be performed at Weyba Medical Centre, but do incur an extra charge of up to $250.
