IV Iron Infusion Therapy
Iron Deficiency Anemia
Iron deficiency anemia is a common type of anemia that occurs when your body doesn’t have enough iron to produce hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen.
Causes
- Inadequate Iron Intake: Diets low in iron-rich foods can lead to a deficiency. This is particularly a concern for vegetarians or people with poor dietary habits.
- Increased Iron Needs: Pregnant women, growing children, and people with heavy menstrual periods may require more iron.
- Blood Loss: Chronic blood loss from conditions such as gastrointestinal bleeding, heavy menstrual bleeding, or frequent blood donations can deplete iron stores.
- Poor Iron Absorption: Conditions like celiac disease, Crohn’s disease, or gastric bypass surgery can impair the absorption of iron from the diet.
- Chronic Diseases: Certain chronic diseases and infections can also affect iron levels and its utilization in the body.
