    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intravenous_Iron_Infusion

    Intravenous iron infusions are prescribed when gastrointestinal absorption is poor or when an urgent increase in haemoglobin levels is required for severely anaemic patients, such as women in their second and third trimester of pregnancy. [7] Iron deficiency anaemia affects forty-two percent of pregnant women. [10]

  3. Transferrin saturation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transferrin_saturation

    For instance, a value of 15% means that 15% of iron-binding sites of transferrin are being occupied by iron. The three results are usually reported together. A low transferrin saturation is a common indicator of iron deficiency anemia whereas a high transferrin saturation may indicate iron overload or hemochromatosis.

  4. Iron sucrose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_sucrose

    Iron sucrose is a dark brown liquid solution. It is administered intravenously and is only used when a patient with iron deficiency cannot be treated using oral iron options. [5] It is a generally effective drug, with more than 80% of patients responding to treatment. Iron sucrose has ~20 mg of iron per mL of solution.

  5. Iron preparation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_preparation

    Iron sucrose is used for patients with iron-deficiency anemia, including those with chronic kidney disease, when oral iron therapy is ineffective or impractical. Iron sucrose is given by slow intravenous injection or intravenous infusion. For haemodialysis patients, it may be given into the venous limb of the dialyser. [28]

  7. Serum iron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serum_iron

    Serum iron is a medical laboratory test that measures the amount of circulating iron that is bound to transferrin and freely circulate in the blood. Clinicians order this laboratory test when they are concerned about iron deficiency, which can cause anemia and other problems. 65% of the iron in the body is bound up in hemoglobin molecules in red blood cells.
