Intravenous iron therapy and the results we obtained from this treatment in twenty cases

Abstract

This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of intravenous iron therapy in cases of iron deficiency anemia where oral administration is either not possible or ineffective. Since the late 1940s, the development of iron complexes with reduced toxicity enabled the wider use of parenteral iron; in Turkey, it has been applied since 1950. Twenty hospitalized patients from the 1st Internal Medicine Clinic of Ankara University Faculty of Medicine were analyzed. Main indications included gastrointestinal absorption disorders, oral iron intolerance, chronic infection-related anemia, urgent treatment requirements (e.g., pregnancy), and the need to replenish iron stores. The total iron dose was calculated based on hemoglobin deficit and storage requirements. Preparations used included Ferronascine, Ferrum (Hausmann), Ferrum Injectabile (Vitis), and Iviron. Most cases showed significant clinical and laboratory improvement, and no severe adverse effects were reported, except for two cases with transient neurological and angioedema reactions after Iviron infusion. Ensuring slow administration, preventing extravasation, and avoiding doses over 100 mg per session are recommended to enhance safety.
