IDWA is poorly recognised by clinicians IDWA as a clinical diagnosis is crucial to ensuring adequate despite its high prevalence, probably because of suboptimal management, especially for patients with chronic conditions such screening recommendations. Diagnosing IDWA relies on a as heart failure (HF) where IDWA can increase long-term mortality.5 ABSTRACT combination of tests, including haemoglobin and ferritin levels, as well as transferrin saturation. Although the causes Diagnostic definition of iron deficiency of iron deficiency may sometimes be obvious, many tend to be overlooked. Iron sufficiency throughout pregnancy Ferritin is an indicator of iron stores and is the most sensitive and is necessary for maternal and foetal health. Preoperative specific biomarker for assessing ID. The WHO defines low ferritin IDWA must be corrected to reduce the risk of transfusion and as levels <15 µg/L for adults and <12 µg/L for children.6 However, postoperative anaemia. Oral iron is the first-line treatment in clinical practice, when ferritin levels dip below 30 µg/L, ID can be for managing IDWA; however, intravenous supplementation ascertained.7 Ferritin is an acute-phase reactant that is increased should be used in chronic inflammatory conditions and when in serum during chronic inflammation. -
