Appetite and ghrelin levels in iron deficiency anemia and the effect of parenteral iron therapy: A longitudinal study.

Background: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is associated with decreased appetite. The ghrelin hormone is one of the major regulators of appetite.

Objectives: To evaluate appetite and ghrelin levels in patients with IDA, and to investigate the change in appetite and ghrelin following intravenous iron therapy.

Intravenous iron treatment reduces coagulability in patients with iron deficiency anaemia: a longitudinal study.

Although many case reports and observational studies have reported a correlation between iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) and thrombotic events, the mechanism for this is poorly understood. To evaluate this, we examined the change in coagulability in patients receiving treatment for IDA. Adult patients with IDA were recruited for this study and treated with intravenous iron.
