TLC Sessions - Living with Long Covid

Episode 71: Dr Andrew Klein - Iron and B12 deficiency


Listen Later

Dr Andrew Klein, an anaesthetist at the Royal Papworth Hospital Cambridge, runs the Cambridge Iron Clinic where he treats people with Iron and B12 deficiencies.  Since the start of Covid he has seen an increase in people with these deficiencies, many of whom have been diagnosed with Long Covid.

In this episode Dr Klein talks us through the overlapping symptom sets that render people debilitated with all three conditions.  He describes the various ways in which are body is not able to uptake and store sufficient B12 and iron, the consequences of this, and the way in which they can be simply treated.  And we discuss the data ranges used by the NHS to determine conditions and allocate treatment and once again draw the conclusion that correct care should only be determined by listening to the patient.
