Although the mechanism for its development is not well understood, iron-deficiency anemia is a well-recognized consequence of partial gastrectomy. The reported incidence varies considerably, depending upon the criteria used to define anemia, and other factors. Rapid emptying of the gastric remnant, intestinal "hurry", and borderline dietary-iron intake, with or without concomitant blood loss, produce malabsorption of some forms of iron that appears to be responsible for development of the deficiency. The diagnosis rests on hematological findings in the peripheral blood, the evaluation of iron stores, epithelial changes, and the response to adequate treatment. Oral iron therapy can be both effective and inexpensive and should form the mainstay of treatment.
