Keywords:
Classification, clinic and diagnosis of Iron deficiency anemia (further – ZHDA)Abstract
Anemia is a clinical and hematological syndrome characterized by a decrease in the number of red blood cells and hemoglobin in the blood. A decrease in the hemoglobin content below the level of less than 120 g/l is considered as anemia. However, 80% of all anemia is associated with iron deficiency. Iron in the human body participates in the regulation of metabolism, in the processes of oxygen transfer, in tissue respiration and has a huge impact on the state of immunological resistance. Iron absorption is carried out mainly in the duodenum and upper jejunum. Recommended daily intake of iron with food: 12 mg for men, 15 mg for women, 30 mg for pregnant women.
