Document Summary
Iron absorption occurs in duodenum can be impaired by ibd, celiac disease, etc. Etiology increased demand increased physiological need for iron in the body (e. g. pregnancy) decreased supply dietary deficiencies (rarely the only etiology) cow s milk (infant diet) Investigations: major diagnostic difficulty is to distinguish from anemia of chronic disease iron indices, including ferritin (table 4), (figure 6) ferritin is an acute phase protein and is stored in the liver. In patients with liver disease or infection, a serum ferritin. Iv venofer can be used if patient not able to tolerate or absorb oral iron. Prognosis reticulocytes begin to increased after one week: hb normalizes by 10 g/l per week. Iron-deficiency may indicate the presence of serious gi disease. Iron-deficiency in males always warrants a gi work-up. The utility of ferritin in the diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia. Ferritin ( g/l) likelihood ratio for iron deficiency anemia.
