About Iron deficiency anemia.

Iron deficiency anemia is a hematologic disorder that develops when the body's iron stores become depleted, compromising normal erythropoiesis and reducing overall hemoglobin concentration.

Commonly affecting infants, young children, pregnant or menstruating individuals, and adults with occult gastrointestinal blood loss or malabsorption syndromes, it impairs systemic oxygen delivery.

Pathophysiologically, the absence of sufficient iron results in the production of microcytic, hypochromic erythrocytes, typically reflected in laboratory evaluations by low serum ferritin, reduced transferrin saturation, and decreased mean corpuscular volume, which clinically manifests as fatigue, pallor, weakness, and exertional dyspnea.
