RESUMEN
La anemia ferropénica es la forma más frecuente de anemia. Puede causar astenia, deterioro cognitivo y funcional y descompensar las enfermedades de base. No es una enfermedad, sino la consecuencia de un problema médico potencialmente grave, por lo que siempre debe investigarse la causa subyacente; en varones y mujeres posmenopáusicas es la pérdida digestiva y la malabsorción de hierro. En este grupo se aconseja una gastroscopia, una colonoscopia y una serología de celiaquía. Si los resultados son negativos deberá valorarse la repetición de exploraciones y se acepta una pauta de tratamiento con hierro. En caso de refractariedad o recidiva de la anemia debe ser investigado el intestino delgado. En este caso la cápsula endoscópica es la exploración de elección. En todos los casos debe tratarse la anemia ferropénica hasta la normalización de los depósitos, para lo cual disponemos de una gran variedad de formas de hierro oral y parenteral
ABSTRACT
Iron deficiency anemia is the most common type of anemia and can cause asthenia, cognitive and functional impairment, and decompensation of underlying diseases. Iron deficiency anemia is not a disease but is the result of a potentially serious medical problem. Consequently, patients should always undergo investigation of the underlying cause. In men and postmenopausal women, the condition is caused by gastrointestinal loss and malabsorption of iron. In this group, recommended procedures are gastroscopy, colonoscopy and serological testing for celiac disease. If the results of these tests are negative, repeat examinations and iron therapy should be considered. In treatment-refractory or recurrent anemia, the small intestine should be investigated. In this case, the procedure of choice is capsule endoscopy. Iron deficiency anemia should always be treated until iron deposits have returned to normal levels. A wide variety of preparations are available, in both oral and parental formulations
