ANAEMIA
 WHO Cut Offs:
 M<13g/dl
 F<12gm/dl
 Anemia in pregnancy:
 1st Trimester Hb< 11
 2nd trimester Hb <10.5
 3rd trimester Hb<11
 Post partum Hb <10
Iron
Homeostasis
IRON HOMEOSTASIS
 1-2mg of iron absorbed and lost every day
 Most absorption- Duodenum
 2 forms- Ferrous and ferric
 Ferric iron Ferrous iron at brush border
 Iron Blood transferrinBone marrow2/3rd in
Hb
 Storage:
1. Reticulo Endothelial System
2. Liver
 Key Regulator: Hepcidin
 Hepcidin blocks Ferroportin  Reduced iron
absorption from gut and stores

Diagnosis
SCREENING FOR IDA
 Ferritin <30ng/ml
 Transferrin saturation <20%.

Iron Deficiency Anemia - FCM in brief.pptx
Treatment
ORAL IRON
 Ferrous form is better absorbed
 Most commonly available : Ferrous sulphate,
ferrous fumarate, ferrous gluconate, ferrous
ascorbate.
 Any of these is acceptable.
Advantages:
 Efficacious for most patients
 Low risk of serious side effects
 Low cost
Disadvantages:
 GI toxicity
 Compliance

SOME QUERIES
IV iron
INDICATIONS OF IV IRON
 Failure/intolerance of oral iron
 Noncompliance
 Rapid response required
 Malabsorption
 Continuous bleeding
D. Girelli et al 2017
CONTRAINDICATIONS TO IV IRON
 Pregnancy <12 weeks
 Lack of facilities of managing allergic reaction
 Anaphylaxis to any parenteral iron preparation
 Iron overload

DILUTION AND DURATION
 Dilute FCM 500mg in 100ml NS and 1gm in 250ml
NS. Concentration of FCM <2mg/ml is not
permissible.
 Infuse 500mg in minimum 6minutes and 1gm in
minimum 15minutes
 Long duration of infusion and excess dilution can
lead to destabilization of iron complex and adverse
effects
