Overview
Bone marrow aspiration, colonoscopy and upper GI endoscopy can be done to look for the cause of iron deficiency anemia.
Other Diagnostic Studies
Bone Marrow Aspiration
A definitive diagnosis requires a demonstration of depleted body iron stores obtained by bone marrow aspiration, with the marrow stained for iron.[1][2]
Colonoscopy
May be done to look for the cause of iron deficiency:
- Celiac disease
- Crohn's disease
Upper Endoscopy
May be done to look for the site of bleeding.
