Treatment of sideropenic anaemia by a general practitioner

MUDr. PhDr. Zdeňka Nováková, Ph.D.
Praktický lékař pro dospělé, Hrušovany u Brna

The article deals with sideropenic anaemia, its causes, differential diagnosis, clinical symptoms, and treatment. In the practice, non-specific symptoms of anaemia are often the first sign of gastrointestinal disease. Determining the cause of anaemia is critical for appropriate treatment. Concerning treatment, it is beneficial to administer iron as controlled-release tablets, which reduces the effect of high iron concentrations on the intestinal mucosa. A case report illustrates the options of treatment in a general practitioner's surgery.

Keywords: anaemia of chronic disease, sideropenic anaemia, iron, malabsorption, gastrointestinal disease.
