Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) on peripheral nervous system via nerve excitability tests (threshold tracking). Methods: The study was performed on 32 patients (22 patients (69%) with moderate, and 10 patients (31%) with severe IDA. Parenteral iron treatment was administered based on the calculated iron deficiency. Three nerve excitability tests were performed; Test 1: During the pre-treatment period, Test 2: On the 7th day of the post-treatment period, and Test 3: Three months after the correction of anemia. The strength-duration/time constant (tSD), rheobase and supernormality values of motor and sensory axons of the median nerve were recorded. Results: A statistically significant stepwise increase in the supernormality periods of the sensory axons of the median nerve was detected between the tests conducted in three separate times (p |
