RESUMEN
Se estima que un tercio de la población mundial es anémica, la mayoría por deficiencia de hierro. La anemia por deficiencia de hierro es la etapa final de un prolongado periodo de balance negativo del mineral. Aunque es raro que esta anemia sea causa de muerte, su impacto sobre la salud es significativo. En los adultos, se asocia con fatiga, síndrome de las piernas inquietas, pica, etc; en los neonatos, con retraso del crecimiento y desarrollo y; en los adolescentes, con disminución del aprendizaje y alteraciones conductuales. No existe una prueba única para diagnosticar la deficiencia de hierro; aunque la disminución de la ferritina sérica o de la saturación de la transferrina, con una capacidad total de fijación de hierro elevada, son elementos sugestivos. Se revisan las características clínicas y de laboratorio de esta entidad(AU)
ABSTRACT
It is estimated that one-third of the world's population is anemic, the majority being due to iron deficiency. Iron deficiency anemia is the result of a large negative iron balance period. Iron deficiency anemia rarely causes death, but the impact on human health is significant. In adults, it is associated with fatigue, restless legs syndrome, pica; in neonates, delayed growth and development and, in adolescents, decrements in learning and behavioral abnormalities. No single test is diagnostic of ID unless the serum ferritin is low or the percent transferring saturation is low with an elevated total iron binding capacity are suggestive. Clinical and laboratory features of the disease are discussed(AU)
