Overview
Medical Therapy
- Iron supplementation is recommended among patients with iron deficiency anemia[1][2][3][4][5].
- Pharmacologic medical therapies for iron deficiency anemia include (either) oral iron supplements, parenteral iron supplements, erythropoetin and blood transfusion.
Iron deficiency anemia
- 1. Mild anemia
- 1.1 Adults- (Hb -11.0-11.9 g/dL in women and 11.0-12.9 g/dL in men)
- Ferrous sulfate/ferrous gluconate/ferrous fumarate PO 100mg per day for 4 weeks.
- 1.2 Pediatrics- (Hb <9g/dl)
- Ferrous sulfate 3mg/kg PO for 8-12 weeks.
- 1.1 Adults- (Hb -11.0-11.9 g/dL in women and 11.0-12.9 g/dL in men)
- 2. Moderate anemia
- 2.1- Adults( Hb 7-11g/dL)
- Ferric carboxymaltose in a dose of 750mg ( 50mg/ml/min) IV once a week for 2-4 weeks.
- 2.2 Paediatrics- (Hb 5-9g/dl)
- Iron sucrose in a dose of 200mg (30mg/ml/min) IV once a week for 2-4 weeks.
- 2.1- Adults( Hb 7-11g/dL)
- 3. Severe anemia
- 3.1 Adults (Hb <7g/dl in individuals without co morbidities and <8g/dl in patients with heart diseases)
- Blood transfusion- units of packed red blood cellsdepending on the Hb level
- 2 units of blood increase 1 g/dl of Hb.
- 3.2 Paediatrics (Hb <5g/dl)
- Blood transfusion- Units of packed red blood cells depending on the Hb level.
- 1 unit given over 3-4 hours.
- 3.1 Adults (Hb <7g/dl in individuals without co morbidities and <8g/dl in patients with heart diseases)
- Iron deficient individuals need to consume iron rich diet.
- Source of iron rich foods is mentioned below:
