Iron Therapy Open Access Journals

Iron is an essential element and its balance must be maintained for proper physiological functioning. Blood loss, a major cause of iron deficiency, is very common (for example, menstruating women and patients with chronic gastrointestinal (GI) blood loss) and requires diagnosis and management appropriate [1–4]. Therapeutic management of IDA mainly focuses on replenishing iron stores [1–4]. Although iron deficient people without inflammation may respond to oral iron therapy, IV iron administration is beneficial in many patient populations, including those with inflammation (for example, from kidney disease, heart failure, or rheumatic disease), patients who cannot tolerate oral iron intake, and patients who do not comply with oral iron therapy [5–8]. Even under the best of circumstances, oral iron is not well tolerated and patients are often non-adherent for a variety of reasons, including intolerable side effects and the need for multiple daily doses [9]. In addition, the often poor absorption of oral iron can contribute to a suboptimal patient response.
