Diamond-Blackfan Anaemia (DBA) is a rare inherited blood disorder that affects the body’s ability to produce red blood cells, often leading to chronic anaemia, fatigue, and increased vulnerability to infection. People living with DBA may require ongoing treatment such as blood transfusions, steroid therapy, iron chelation, or specialist monitoring throughout their lives.
In an emergency, Diamond-Blackfan Anaemia may not be immediately recognised - particularly given its rarity. Important details such as transfusion dependence, steroid use, iron overload risk, or associated medical conditions can be missed if responders are unaware of a DBA diagnosis. A MedicAlert medical ID bracelet or necklace ensures this critical information is clearly identified when it matters most.
MedicAlert Diamond-Blackfan Anaemia (DBA) medical ID bracelets and necklaces are NHS-recommended and engraved with essential details about your condition. Each ID is securely linked to a digital medical record, reviewed by our in-house registered nurses and supported by a 24/7 emergency helpline, giving healthcare professionals rapid access to your full medical information if you’re unable to communicate.
With MedicAlert, you can feel confident knowing your Diamond-Blackfan Anaemia diagnosis and treatment needs are always visible in an emergency - providing reassurance for you and peace of mind for your loved ones, so you can focus on living life to the full.

Do not use abrasive cloths and avoid contacts with cleaning products. Perspiration, aftershave and creams can increase tarnishing. Avoid contact where possible. Please note; when your jewellery is new and highly polished, a cleaning cloth may dull its appearance. Enamel can be affected by wear and tear. Avoid denting or scratching the enamel. To avoid scratching, do not wear silver or gold jewellery alongside other items. Do not bathe or swim in silver or gold jewellery.
