| Resumen en inglés | OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of intravenous iron III-hydroxide saccharate for treating adult patients with iron deficiency anemia lacking satisfactory response to oral iron therapy. METHODS: Between January 2003 and January 2004, 25 patients with iron deficiency anemia who presented intolerance or inadequate response to iron oral therapy, or hemoglobin level < 7 g/dl were studied. The main laboratory tests performed were: complete blood cell count, reticulocyte count, serum iron, total iron-binding capacity, serum ferritin. Patients received a weekly dose of 200 mg of iron diluted in 250 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride solution administered intravenously for 30 minutes. Treatment continued until a hemoglobin level = 12 g/dL for women and = 13 g/dL for men were obtained or until full administration of the total dose of parenteral iron recommended for each patient. RESULTS: Edian age of the patients studied was 45 years (ages ranging from 31 to 70). Nineteen out of 25 patients (76%) were women. The most common cause of iron deficiency anemia was abnormal uterine bleeding observed in 68% of the female patients (13 out of 19) and partial gastrectomy observed in 67% of the male patients (4 out of 6). Seventeen (68%) patients were included in this study because they did not respond to oral iron therapy, 24% (6 out of 25) showed intolerance to oral iron and 8% (2 out of 25) presented hemoglobin level < 7 g/dl. Correction of anemia was obtained in 12 out of 19 female patients (63%) and in 5 out of 6 male patients (83%). The mean hemoglobin and ferritin values were 8.09 g/dl and 4.20 ng/ml (pre-treatment) and 12.42 g/dl and 87.78 ng/ml (post-treatment) (p<0.001), respectively. The average increase of hemoglobin was 3.74 g/dl, ranging from 1.30 to 7.60 g/dl. None of the patients received blood transfusion during or after the intravenous iron treatment. CONCLUSION: The use of intravenous iron III-hydroxide saccharate is an efficacious and safe option in the t |
| Resumen en portugués | OBJETIVO: Avaliar a eficácia do uso intravenoso de sacarato de hidróxido de ferro III no tratamento de pacientes adultos com anemia ferropriva que não obtiveram resposta satisfatória à terapia com ferro oral. MÉTODOS: No período de janeiro de 2003 a janeiro de 2004, estudamos 25 pacientes com anemia ferropriva que apresentaram intolerância e/ou resposta inadequada ao tratamento com ferro por via oral e/ou valor de hemoglobina < 7 g/dl. Os principais exames laboratoriais realizados foram: hemograma completo, contagem de reticulócitos, ferro sérico, capacidade total de ligação de ferro e ferritina sérica. Os pacientes receberam uma dose semanal de 200 mg de sacarato de hidróxido de ferro III diluído em 250 ml de soro fisiológico 0,9% administrado por via intravenosa em 30 minutos. O tratamento foi realizado até a obtenção dos valores de hemoglobina =12 g/dl para mulheres e =13 g/dl para homens, ou até a administração da dose total de ferro parenteral recomendada para cada paciente. RESULTADOS: A idade mediana dos 25 pacientes estudados foi de 45 anos, variando entre 31 e 70 anos; 19 (76%) eram do sexo feminino. A causa mais comum de anemia ferropriva no sexo feminino foi sangramento uterino anormal observado em 13/19 pacientes (68%) e, no sexo masculino, gastrectomia parcial observada em 4/6 (67%). Dezessete (68%) pacientes foram incluídos neste estudo por falta de resposta à terapia com ferro oral, 6/25 (24%) por intolerância ao ferro oral e 2/25 (8%) por hemoglobina < 7 g/dL. Correção da anemia foi obtida em 12/19 (63%) dos p |
