BACKGROUND: Given around 50% of people with heart failure have a degree of iron deficiency, guidelines recommend screening. It is uncertain to what extent this is done in primary care and whether testing is equitable. AIM: To report the proportion of people …

Abstract Background Iron deficiency (ID) is a readily treatable condition once identified. Ferritin is the primary diagnostic marker, but cut-offs vary and inflammation complicates interpretation in patients with long-term conditions (LTCs). Aim To describe ferritin distribution and the prevalence of threshold-defined low …

• Current testing practices for iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) reveal missed opportunities for diagnosis and management in cirrhosis. • Ferritin and MCV remain useful for IDA diagnosis in cirrhosis but current thresholds are unable to exclude hemoglobin response to oral iron. Diagnosing …

Abstract Background: Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) is common yet often under-evaluated in cirrhosis, where chronic inflammation complicates biomarker interpretation. We investigated the diagnostic utility of ferritin and mean cell volume (MCV), testing patterns, and response to oral iron therapy in patients with …
