Abstract

Giriş ve Amaç
Anemilerin çoğu gibi demir eksikliği anemisi de kendi başına bir hastalık değildir ve etyolojinin her hastada araştırılıp ortaya konması gerekmektedir. Demir eksikliği anemisi yaş gruplarına göre etyolojik nedenlerin sıklığı değişmektedir. Demir eksikliği anemisinin en önemli sebebi premenapozal kadınlarda menstrüel kanamalar iken; postmenapozal kadınlar ve erişkin erkeklerde ise gastrointestinal sistemden olan kronik kan kayıpları oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışmada demir eksikliği nedeniyle endoskopi ve kolonoskopi yaptığımız hastaların malignite sıklığını değerlendirmeyi amaçladık.

Materyal ve Metod
2018 Aralık ve 2019 Temmuz ayları arasında demir eksikliği anemisi etyoloji taraması nedeniyle kolonoskopi ve endoskopi yaptığımız hastalarımızı çalışmaya aldık. Kolonoskopi uygun hazırlık sonrası terminal ileum da değerlendirilecek şekilde uygulanmıştı. Hastaların yaş, cinsiyet, anamnez bilgileri ve işlem sonuçlarına dosyaları araştırılarak geriye dönük olarak incelendi.

Bulgular
Bu sürede demir eksikliği anemisi nedeniyle 142 hastada kolonoskopi yapılmıştı. Bunların 130’una endoskopi de yapılmıştı. Hastaların %52,81’i erkek ve %47,18‘i kadındı. Erkeklerin yaş ortalaması 61,4±11,8, kadınların yaş ortalaması 55,2 ± 13,6 idi. Bunlardan %15,5 hastada kolonda polip saptandı ve bunların % 80,5'i adenomatöz polipti. % 7 hastada kolonda karsinom saptandı. Bu hastaların toplam %57,7’ünde de mide adenokanseri, ülser, gastrit, özofajit, özofagus varisi, polip ve özofafit gibi anemiyi açıklayabilecek patoloji saptandı. Toplam %64,8 hastada anemiyi açıklayabilecek ya endoskopik bulgu ya da kolonoskopik bulgu mevcuttu.

Tartışma ve Sonuç
Demir eksikliği anermisi labaratuar çalışmaları ile doğrulandıktan ve diyete bağlı demir eksikliği, demir ihtiyacında artış ve gastrointestinal sistem dışı kan kaybına bağlı anemi dışlandıktan sonra, gastrointestinal traktüsün endoskopik incelemesine geçilmelidir. Bu çalışmada olguların %15,5’inde kolonda polip , %7,04 hastada da adenokarsinom tespit ettik. Midede de %0,7 adenokarsinom tespit edildi. Bu da demir eksikliği anemisi etiyolojisinde hem endoskopi hem de kolonoskopinin önemini göstermektedir.

Abstract

Introduction and purpose
Like most anemias, iron deficiency anemia is not a disease in itself and its etiology needs to be investigated and revealed in each patient. The frequency of etiological causes of iron deficiency anemia varies according to age groups. While the most important cause of iron deficiency anemia is menstrual bleeding in premenopausal women; It causes chronic blood loss from the gastrointestinal system in postmenopausal women and adult men. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the malignancy frequency in patients who underwent endoscopy and colonoscopy due to iron deficiency.

Material and Method
We included our patients who underwent colonoscopy and endoscopy for iron deficiency anemia etiology screening between December 2018 and July 2019. Colonoscopy was performed after appropriate preparation to be evaluated in the terminal ileum. Patients' age, gender, anamnesis information and procedure results were examined retrospectively by investigating their files.

Results
During this period, colonoscopy was performed in 142 patients due to iron deficiency anemia. 130 of them had also undergone endoscopy. 52.81% of the patients were men and 47.18% were women. The mean age of men was 61.4 ± 11.8, and the mean age of women was 55.2 ± 13.6. Of these, 15.5% of patients had polyps in the colon, and 80.5% of them were adenomatous polyp. Carcinoma in the colon was detected in 7% of the patients. In a total of 57.7% of these patients, pathology that could explain anemia such as gastric adenocarcinoma, ulcer, gastritis, esophagitis, esophageal varicose, polyps and esophagitis was detected. A total of 64.8% patients had either endoscopic findings or colonoscopic findings that could explain anemia.

Discussion and Conclusion
Endoscopic examination of the gastrointestinal tract should be started after iron deficiency anermia is confirmed by laboratory studies and after excluding anemia due to dietary iron deficiency, increased iron requirement and extra-gastrointestinal blood loss. In this study, we detected polyps in the colon in 15.5% of the cases, and adenocarcinoma in 7.04% of the patients. 0.7% adenocarcinoma was detected in the stomach. This shows the importance of both endoscopy and colonoscopy in the etiology of iron deficiency anemia.
