Popis: SUMMARY We prospectively investigated the utility of preoperative intravenous (IV) iron treatment to increase hemoglobin (Hb) levels and reduce the need for transfusion in women with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) or iron deficiency (ID) scheduled for elective abdominal hysterectomy. Seventy-five women with ID or IDA were enrolled in the study. Women having their surgical procedure at least 1 month after preoperative assessment received IV iron sucrose during 2–4 weeks (IV iron group, n = 31). Women having their surgical procedure a few days after preoperative assessment did not receive IV iron (control group, n = 44). At baseline, there were no differences between the two groups in terms of weight or age, prevalence of anemia, Hb levels or iron laboratory parameters. IV iron sucrose (760 ± 290 mg) increased preoperative Hb (ΔHb: 2.2 ± 1.2 g/dL; P
