Iron deficiency anemia affects a large proportion of the worlds population and iron deficiency without anemia is even more common.

Should you avoid IV iron in an iron deficient pt who was recently transfused?

Many fear iron overload, as 1U RBC transfusion contains ~200mg iron (primarily within RBCs). Is this a problem?

Iron deficiency is relatively frequent and seen by all types of physicians.

For years, iron supplements were given multiple times a day.

Now we know that should never happen.

So why the change?

I got covered with zero copay at age 38 based on high risk #familyhistory and #irondeficiency with no other symptoms FWIW
Love how colon cancer keeps killing people under 50 and yet insurance doesn't cover colonoscopy without cost-sharing until age 45.

I just paid $1,584 out of pocket for mine thanks to my deductible and copays

If you have #irondeficiency #anemia, get a #colonoscopy even if you are not 45 yet. Especially as a woman, don’t let your doctors write it off as menstrual.
Colorectal cancer is on the rise among young people. Now it is the leading cause of cancer death in the U.S. for those under 50, according to a new analysis. on.wsj.com/4jTh08y

To help you prevent #IronDeficiency, eat iron-rich foods like:

▪️Meat
▪️Eggs
▪️Legumes
▪️Dark leafy greens
▪️Nuts & seeds

✅ Include citrus fruits which helps you absorb the iron in these foods.
❌ Avoid coffee & tea during meals, as they contain some elements that can inhibit iron absorption in foods.

Ugh well, I finally got around to getting some labs done, and I'm working two full-time jobs while being the most #anemic I've ever been in my life 😂 (my struggle with #irondeficiency is already out there in an #NPR article)
But the prospect of RFK Jr.'s #roadkill diet is...unappetizing.

Tired even after 8 hours?

It's not sleep. It's LOW IRON.

Hair fall + morning exhaustion = ferritin < 30

Fix:
- Pumpkin seeds
- Lemon on lentils (Vitamin C unlocks iron)
- Cast iron pan
- Nettle tea
- NO coffee with meals

Save this. 70% of women are low.

Black women are more likely to experience heavy menstrual bleeding but often have their symptoms dismissed by clinicians.

This dismissal leads to:

❌ Undiagnosed #irondeficiency

❌ Delayed treatment

❌ Poor health outcomes

Generally, indications for someone to get screened before age 45 (I had several of these, hence being approved at age 38):
- #anemia (Hemoglobin less than normal for your gender)
- #irondeficiency (low iron, ferritin levels)
- family history of either GI cancer or pre-cancerous colon polyps

In this study examine the increasing evidence indicating that #irondeficiency may limit adaptive immunity and vaccine responses.

My iron tanked after my first Covid infection in 2020 and I’ve been struggling with it ever since as I have horrible side effects from iron tablets.

FYI: A ferritin level of under 30 is absolute iron deficiency according to NICE guidelines.

Iron deficiency is the most common micronutrient deficiency worldwide, and heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is a major contributor. Yet, HMB is often overlooked or normalized.

She was tired, dizzy, breathless—and misdiagnosed. Turns out, she was just anemic.
