Iron solutions cause staining of the teeth, tablets do not. It is very difficult to change duodenal pH with oral solutions. Patients with achlorhyria usually are not candidates for oral iron. In the adult, blood loss should be suspected in everyone with iron deficiency
Treating the underlying condition is the treatment of Anemia of chronic disease

Hi, Thanks for putting up an amazing video.
My mother is a kidney patient (early stage), her heamoglobin level is very low 7.6 (sometimes gets Iron from hospital in the form of drip), which is very less due to which she gets fever every day and night for the past week.
Hence request you to suggest any appropriate way of Iron take (Dont worry - for which we will take suggestion from Doctors)
Thanks a lot !
Really appreciate your efforts.

so how to treat ACD, after solving the inflamation you can use iron supplement or will the body rebound from the feritin?

[apricotcoconut]

You mentioned enhancing the absorption of iron with an acidic drink, but coffee and tea are acidic and inhibit absorption. clarification should be made on what acidic drink is not appropriate then.

What if you have IDA and Anemia of Chronic disease?

[janmartell]

Please tell your students to take low ferritin seriously.
