Study Notes
Erythropoiesis-Stimulating Agents (ESAs)
- Considered for treatment, but response can be impaired in patients with AI
- Iron, cobalamin, and folic acid supplementation may improve response to ESA treatment
Vitamin B12– and Folic Acid–Deficiency Anemias
- Characterized as macrocytic in nature
- Caused by inadequate dietary intake, malabsorption syndromes, and inadequate utilization
- Differentiated from IDA using vitamin B12 and folate concentrations
Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA)
- Characterized by:
- Glossal pain
- Smooth tongue
- Reduced salivary flow
- Pica (compulsive eating of nonfood items)
- Pagophagia (compulsive eating of ice)
Treatment Goals
- Return hematologic parameters to normal
- Restore normal function and quality of life
- Prevent long-term complications
