Chronic phlebotomy is an important mechanism of iron loss in premature infants. We studied inter- and intraorgan iron allocation in 10 twin lamb pairs undergoing an acute 40-50% reduction in red cell volume followed by smaller intermittent phlebotomies over an 11-day period. One twin received no supplemental iron sucrose, while the other received an average daily intravenous dose of iron sucros...

Purpose Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is common in cancer patients due to blood loss and inflammation. Many do not tolerate oral iron or adequately respond. Intravenous (IV) iron is commonly used as an adjunct to erythropoiesis-stimulating agents; data on the use of IV iron monotherapy in these patients are limited. This study aimed to evaluate IV ferumoxytol for the treatment of cancer patients...

OBJECTIVE: To determine the safety and efficacy of iron hydroxide sucrose complex infusion in the correction of iron deficiency anemia in second and third trimester of pregnancy. STUDY DESIGN: A prospective observational study. th PLACE AND DURATION: One year, from 1st April 2013 to 30 March 2014 at department of Gynae and Obstetrics, Cantonment General Hospital Rawalpindi Pakistan. METHODOLOGY...

Iron deficiency anemia is the most common form of anemia worldwide, caused by poor iron intake, chronic blood loss, or impaired absorption. Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are increasingly likely to have iron deficiency anemia, with an estimated prevalence of 36%-76%. Detection of iron deficiency is problematic as outward signs and symptoms are not always present. Iron deficiency...

The aim of this study is to obtain polysaccharide (Glucose, Fructose and Sucrose) stabilized superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) by Co-Precipitation method. As prepared iron oxide nanoparticles have been characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, UV–Vis NIR spectroscopy, High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscope (HRTEM) and V...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) is the most common nutritional deficiency in pregnancy. Prophylactic oral iron is recommended during pregnancy to meet the increased requirement. In India, women become pregnant with low baseline haemoglobin level resulting in high incidence of moderate to severe anaemia in pregnancy where oral iron therapy cannot meet the requirement. Pregn...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of intravenous iron to oral iron in the treatment of anemia in pregnancy. METHODS In this randomized open-label study, 90 women with hemoglobin levels between 8 and 10.5 g/dL and ferritin values less than 13 microg/L received either oral iron polymaltose complex (300 mg elemental iron per day) or intravenous iron sucrose. The iron su...

BACKGROUND Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a common disorder in hemodialysis (HD) patients that causes sleep disturbances and diminished quality of life. Because iron deficiency has been implicated in the pathogenesis of RLS, we sought to investigate the effects of intravenous (IV) iron sucrose on symptoms of RLS in HD patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study was a randomized, placebo-controlle...
