Abstract
Introduction: Anaemia occurs due to an imbalance between erythrocyte production and loss. This imbalance can be due to ineffective erythropoiesis, blood loss or haemolysis. Whilst there are many causes for anaemia, iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) remains the predominant cause worldwide.
Areas covered: There have been many updated guidelines on the management of IDA in the past few years. As the reasons for IDA are many, evaluation requires thorough analysis and focused investigations. As an asymptomatic disease in the early stages, IDA can lead to many mistakes in its management. This review highlights potential mistakes in assessing and managing IDA and recommendations to avoid them.
Conclusion: The effective management of IDA necessitates a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach. By recognising and addressing the common mistakes highlighted in this narrative review, healthcare professionals can improve patient outcomes, minimise complications, and enhance the overall quality of care.
简介贫血是由于红细胞生成和丢失之间的不平衡造成的。这种失衡可能是由于红细胞生成不足、失血或溶血造成的。虽然造成贫血的原因有很多,但缺铁性贫血(IDA)仍然是全球最主要的原因:在过去几年中,有许多关于 IDA 治疗的最新指南。由于导致 IDA 的原因很多,因此评估时需要进行全面分析和重点检查。作为一种早期无症状的疾病,IDA 可能会导致许多管理上的错误。本综述强调了在评估和管理 IDA 时可能出现的错误,并提出了避免这些错误的建议:结论:IDA 的有效管理需要综合的多学科方法。通过认识和解决本综述中强调的常见错误,医护人员可以改善患者的预后,最大限度地减少并发症,并提高整体护理质量。
