Anemija zaradi pomanjkanja železa
kot globalni zdravstveni problem
Vzroki in posledice anemije zaradi
pomanjkanja železa pri različnih
boleznih, z anemijo ali brez
Načini zdravljenja
IRON DEFICIENCY
Etiology

Absolute iron deficiency

Iron sequestration

Functional iron deficiency

Molecular defects in iron transport,
recycling and distribution
IRON DEFICIENCY - etiology
Absolute iron
deficiency
• no iron stores
IRON DEFICIENCY - etiology
IRON sequestration
iron stores present but blocked in macrophages



Inflammation (Anemia of chronic disorder :ACD)
Infections
Malignancies
Auto-immune diseases
Chronic kidney disease
–Hepcidin-producing adenoma
–Iron-refractory iron deficiency anemia (IRIDA)
(TMPRSS6/matriptase mutation)
Hepcidin




Peptidni hormon, ki se sintetizira v jetrih
Glavni regulator homeostaze železa !!!
Deficit hepcidina - ↑absorbcijo Fe iz prebavil in
deponiranje v vitalnih organih (beta talasemija)
Zvečane vrednosti hepcidina:
• (okužbe, maligne bolezni-IL6, sekretorni adenom, iron
overload, juvenilna hemohromatoza)
• zmanjšajo absorbcijo Fe iz prebavil in blokira Fe
v makrofagih
PRI ZVEČANI VREDNOSTI HEPCIDINA JE
PERORALNO ŽELEZO NEUČINKOVITO !!!
Iron refraktory iron deficiency
anemia-IRIDA





Dedna avtosomno recesivna anemija
Defekt v genu TMPRSS6 za Matriptazo-2,
protein, ki je glavni regulator delovanja
hepcidina na feroportin na membrani
makrofagov in enterocitov
Hipohromna mikrocitna anemija, nizke
vrednosti Hb, nizka sat.transferina, normalen
feritin, normalen hepcidin
Diagnostika: družinska anamneza, anemija
ob rojstvu,izključititi druge ID anemije in
talasemije, genetsko testiranje
Zdravljenje: iv Fe, EPO, kelacija
IRON DEFICIENCY - etiology


Functional iron deficiency
iron stores present but not able to match increased needs of
erythropoiesis
-High
feritin,
-low Tsat<20%
-high feritin >30, >100 (malignomi)



iron cannot be mobilised for erythropoiesis, mediated by elevated
hepcidin
commonly seen in patients with end-stage kidney disease, whose
response to EPO may be optimised when ferritin levels exceed
200 g/mL
FID may also contribute to anaemia in patients with inflammatory
diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis


%HYPO and CHr - useful indicators of FID.

IRON DIAGNOSIS & PARAMETERS
Iron parameters are central to diagnosing ID,
with or without anemia :
–Serum ferritin
–TSAT
–Soluble transferrin receptor
–RBC indices
Parameters aid in distinguishing between
different iron deficiency states
IRON STORAGE
FERRITIN Serum ferritin
Represents iron stores
(macrophages and
hepatocytes) 1 μg/L = 120
μg/kg storage iron


•Low serum ferritin < 20
μg/L (12–30 according to
assay) 100% specific for
iron deficiency
•Normal range varies with
age and sex
Conditions with falsely elevated
serum ferritin


–Inflammation (including cancer)
–Some forms of cancer (e.g. neuroblastoma)
–Renal failure (lower limit 40–100 μg/L)
–Liver damage
–Hyperthyroidism
–Poorly controlled diabetes mellitus (ferritin
glycosylation)
–Hyperferritin-cataract syndrome
–Benign hyperferritinemia

FERRITIN Serum ferritin
(μg/L)
• Lower limit = 100
(40–120) μg/L
• Lower levels define
absolute ID in cancer
patients
IRON DEFICIENCY- Oral iron
therapy






200 mg iron per day
Ferrous salts Ferric carbohydrate complexes
less absorbed (better tolerated)
Better absorbed when given between meals
Better tolerated when given with meals
Duration : 3-6 months (1) 1–3 months for
correction of anemia (2) 2–3 additional
months for restoration of iron stores
Side effects : gastric intolerance, diarrhea,
constipation, black stools
Absorption decreased with inflammation, re
IRON DEFICIENCY - failure of
oral iron therapy
•Explanations :

Incorrect diagnosis

Complicating illness (cancer, inflammatory
disorders, CKD)

Non-compliance
-Inadequate prescription (dose and form)

Iron losses in excess of intake (Rendu-Osler)

Iron malabsorption

IRIDA
•Alternatives : - Optimize oral iron treatment Parenteral iron : IV, never IM
