Summary
Do you consider iron deficiency anemia (IDA) as much as you should in at-risk patients? A third of the US population will experience IDA in their lifetime, whether due to blood loss or nutritional deficiency. How do you determine which third of your patients have or are at risk for this condition? In this, the first of a 2-podcast series on IDA, experts in primary care and OB/GYN discuss with our primary care moderator the identification of patients who need screening for anemia and iron deficiency and how to screen and diagnose those patients. Hemoglobin, transferrin saturation, serum iron, ferritin! With so many options, how does a provider thoughtfully approach the workup of IDA? Tune in, and find out.
