Overview
There is no established system for the classification of iron deficiency anemia. However, based on the pahology it can be divided into 2 types on the basis of cause of iron deficiency into absolute iron deficiency and functional iron deficiency.
Classification
Iron defeicnecy anemia can be classified into[1].
- Absolute iron deficiency arising due to the lowered or exhausted level of total body iron stores.
- Functional iron deficiency wherein the total body iron stores are normal or increased, with the insufficient iron supply to the bone marrow. Functional iron deficiency is present in many acute and chronic inflammatory states.
