Intravenous (IV) iron infusion is a therapy in which a combination of iron and saline solution is delivered directly into the bloodstream through a vein, in patients suffering iron deficiency, iron-deficiency anaemia and chronic kidney disease. [ 1][ 2][ 3] IV iron infusions are recommended when oral iron supplementation fails to adequately ...
Iron-deficiency anemia is anemia caused by a lack of iron. [ 3] Anemia is defined as a decrease in the number of red blood cells or the amount of hemoglobin in the blood. [ 3] When onset is slow, symptoms are often vague such as feeling tired, weak, short of breath, or having decreased ability to exercise. [ 1]
Latent iron deficiency ( LID ), also called iron-deficient erythropoiesis, [ 1] is a medical condition in which there is evidence of iron deficiency without anemia (normal hemoglobin level). [ 2] It is important to assess this condition because individuals with latent iron deficiency may develop iron-deficiency anemia.

[ 1] The primary mechanism of organ damage is oxidative stress, as elevated intracellular iron levels increase free radical formation via the Fenton reaction.
