Our clinic has a broad and long-established range of consultation hours for anaemia clarification and therapy as well as special laboratories to further characterize the corresponding clinical pictures. We care for a large number of patients with various causes of anemia. The immunohaematology laboratory ensures rapid transfusion medical clarification, which often facilitates the treatment of difficult transfusion indications.
