6 gru 2019 · Our approach to ID and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) involves three steps (I 3): (1) identification of ID/IDA, (2) investigation of and management of the underlying etiology of ID, and (3) iron repletion. Iron repletion options include oral and intravenous (IV) iron formulations.
Discuss the importance of diagnosing the type of anemia in order to provide appropriate treatment. Describe how the complete blood count and its indices are used to initially determine if an anemia is microcytic, normocytic, or macrocytic. List the more common causes of microcytic, normocytic, and macrocytic anemia.

Diagnosis of Iron Deficiency Anemia. Patient with anemia, mean corpuscular volume < 95 μm3 (95 fL) Ferritin ≤ 30 ng per mL. Ferritin 31 to 99 ng per mL. Ferritin ≥ 100 ng per mL. (67.41 pmol...
Stable anaemia is defined as no active haemorrhage. For major haemorrhage, please see the major haemorrhage protocol (link here). Identify and treat the cause for anaemia. Optimal patient management of anaemia requires identification and treatment of the underlying cause.
The goal of this review article is to assist practitioners in understanding the physiology of iron metabolism and to aid in accurately diagnosing iron deficiency anemia. The current first line of therapy for patients with iron deficiency anemia is oral iron supplementation.
