Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA)) ; Causes, Pathophysiology, Signs & Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatment

Iron deficiency is the most prevalent single deficiency state on a worldwide basis.
It is defined as a decreased total body iron content.
Iron deficiency anemia occurs when the iron deficiency is severe enough to diminish the red blood cell production.
So, in this video I discuss about following topics;
1. Normal iron physiology in a healthy individual
2. Causes & pathophysiology of IDA
3. Clinical presentation (signs & symptoms) of IDA
4. Diagnosis of IDA
5. Treatment of IDA
I would highly recommend you to watch this video till the end, and you may gain a lot of information on iron deficiency anemia.

Do not rely on videos for in depth details on a certain topic. Use the videos as a guide to understand the basic picture & concept behind that particular topic. Always read textbooks to improve your knowledge. And gather information from reliable web sites like "Medscape", "Pubmed", And "CDC". Find the latest guidelines & articles published by healthcare experts, and study them. Good luck, Future doctors!

I collapsed last Thursday I was rushed to hospital. My heamoglobin level was 70! A normal level for male is 130-160. I had a blood transfusion and iron transfusion. It turns out I had an ulcer in my duodenum that was bleeding hence why I was so anemic. I spent 5 days in hospital. Had an endoscopy and now I'm on iron tablets for the next 6 months.
