- Abstract
- Iron deficiency does not always receive sufficient attention in daily clinical practice. Diagnostic and treatment possibilities are underutilized. This leads to a negative impact on patients' quality of life, exercise capacity, and treatment response, especially in patients with chronic diseases. In this overview, important diagnostic parameters that should be assessed to detect iron deficiency are outlined. In addition, important laboratory parameters are provided. Furthermore, the necessity for early and sufficient iron supplementation for various chronic diseases is presented. In addition, the risks and benefits of currently available oral and intravenous options for iron treatment are outlined.
