IRON DEFICIENCY ANEMIA IN REAL CLINICAL PRACTICE

On the one hand, diagnostic search in patients with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is confined to the verification of this syndrome, and on the other hand, to the identification of the underlying disease (causes). In the setting of eliminable causes of IDA, therapy should be focused on the underlying disease and administration of iron preparations. In the presence of non-correctable causes, pathogenetic therapy with iron preparations is the primary method of treatment. The physicians must justify the choice of a particular iron preparation, route of administration; they must assess the efficacy and tolerability of the drug, and determine the duration of treatment and the need for maintenance therapy.
