Guidelines for the management of iron deficiency anaemia

Androgenetic Alopecia: A Chronic or Pubertal Onset Disease Retarded by Blood Donation

“…female pattern hair loss, telogen effluvium, alopecia areata, alopecia universal [12][13][14][15][16][17], however some researchers denied such claims [18][19][20][21][22]. Clinically iron deficiency is defined either as an increase in total iron binding capacity tion of ferritin under 40 ng/mL [23][24][25].…”

Cerebral Venous Thrombosis Secondary to Severe Iron Deficiency Anemia: A Case Study

“…Blood loss could be due to hemoptysis, urine loss (hemoglobinuria, hemosiderinuria), gastrointestinal loss (parasites, ulcer, and malignancy), and from excessive menstruation. While the most common cause in adult men and post-menopausal women is GI blood loss, the commonest cause in pre-menopausal women is menstrual blood loss (Goddard et al, 2000). So far, two case reports have been published, wherein women with IDA presented with myoma uteri as a likely cause for CVT.…”

Living with Hemoglobin of 3.7 After Bariatric Surgery! Follow-up is Key to Preventing Adverse Outcomes

“…When iron deficiency does occur, iron supplementation is necessary; iron is often recommended following gastric bypass [22,24]. Iron deficiency presents primarily as a microcytic anemia and is confirmed by a measure of hemoglobin, blood smear for microcytic, hypochromic red cells and determining serum iron, iron binding capacity, transferrin saturation, and ferritin assays periodically [24][25]. Iron supplements must be administered and tailored to patient [25]; intravenous infusion of iron is indicated when intolerant to iron.…”

“…Consumption of iron rich food, such as red meat, may decline following surgery due to altered food preferences, worsening the predisposition to iron deficiency. When iron deficiency does occur, iron supplementation is necessary; iron is often recommended following gastric bypass [22,24]. Iron deficiency presents primarily as a microcytic anemia and is confirmed by a measure of hemoglobin, blood smear for microcytic, hypochromic red cells and determining serum iron, iron binding capacity, transferrin saturation, and ferritin assays periodically [24][25].…”
