genetic fingerprinting or DNA profiling
Measures drug levels at designated intervals
Therapeutic drug monitoring
This is performed by drawing a large volume of blood about 500ml as treatment for polycythemia and hemachromatosis
Therapeutic phlebotomy
Is the overproduction of red blood cells that is harmful to the patient
Polycythemia
Excess iron deposits in the tissues which could be due to problems with iron metabolism
Hemachromatosis
