IDA Pathology, Etiology, and the Role of Hepcidin Across At-Risk Patient Populations

Access Activity

Overview / Abstract:

Iron-deficiency anemia is a widespread condition affecting multiple patient populations, which can range from elderly patients and women of childbearing age to cancer patients, chronic kidney disease patients, and persons with gastroenterological conditions such as IBD, among others. IDA also affects populations not traditionally screened for iron deficiency, such as those with certain cardiovascular conditions such as congestive heart failure and cardiomyopathy. In this activity, a leading hematologist will discuss the pathology of IDA in multiple clinical patient subsets, as well as how hepcidin, a peptide hormone, regulates iron in the body in both normal human physiology and in multiple disease states.

This activity is intended for gastroenterologists, hematologists, oncologists, and other healthcare professionals treating gastrointestinal and cancer related anemia.

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
• Define IDA etiology, signs/symptoms, and epidemiology across patient subsets.
• Outline established and novel treatment options for IDA, including efficacy, routes of administration, and clinical appropriateness for IDA across multiple patient subsets and clinical severity levels.
• Analyze clinical examples of IDA and develop feasible treatment solutions based on relevant symptom severity, practice setting, and patient subset.
