A mini review from #TheHematologist shows how important treating #IronDeficiency anemia is, especially for underdiagnosed female patients. This #NWHW, learn how you can care for your patients with anemia & other gynecologic conditions. 🧵👇🏽
How can you identify #IronDeficiency? Heavy menstrual bleeding is a risk factor.
👶 HMB is estimated to affect 18-38% of women of reproductive age
⬆️ HMB may be higher in perimenopausal individuals
📉 Non-anemic iron depletion is common & underdiagnosed. #NWHW

#IWD2021 #IWD #Irondeficiency is a disease that effects 1in7 'healthy women TODAY and more than half of women in their lifespan. Average duration of symptoms = 8 years (2-13) some posts on the disease in women (1/8)
#IWD2021 #IWD #Irondeficiency is just as common in top athletes and can effect physical performance. Correcting iron deficiency can result in a 5% increase in VO2max - the equivalent to 3 months of high intensity gym work! (2/8)

2/ We know the immune system responds to nutrient availability #immunometabolism.
#irondeficiency (ID) is the most common micronutrient deficiency globally. How does ID influence immunity?

3/ ‘minihepcidin/mHep’ (mimetic of hepcidin) caused serum iron deficiency and suppressed the magnitude/quality of CD8, Tfh, GC and antibody responses to immunisations ⬇️. Injecting iron rescues the effect of ‘mHep’ ⬆️
NEW: WHO guidelines help health workers to detect #IronDeficiency early and protect brain development in early childhood bit.ly/34PjVsq
#IronDeficiency occurs mainly when the requirements of iron increase during rapid periods of growth and development such as in early childhood, adolescence and pregnancy, but it can occur at other stages in life bit.ly/34PjVsq
