Background. Anemia occurs in 30 % of women of childbearing age worldwide. The main causes of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) are the decrease in iron intake from food (vegetarian diet, unbalanced diet, anorexia, eating disorders), impaired iron absorption (celiac disease, malabsorption, concomitant digestive diseases, drug use), blood losses (menstrual bleeding, childbirth, surgery, gastrointestinal bleeding, blood donation), and the increased need for iron (children and adolescents, pregnancy and lactation, endurance exercise). In the 3rd trimester of pregnancy, the need for iron is almost 10 times higher than in the 1st trimester (7.5 vs. 0.8 mg per day). Objective. To describe the treatment of anemia with parenteral iron supplements. Materials and methods. Analysis of literature sources on this topic. Results and discussion. Hemoglobin content |
