Efficacy of ferric carboxymaltose therapy in celiac patients
Abstract
Aims: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is the most common cause of anemia worldwide. IDA can be caused by reduced iron intake, impaired iron absorption or losses. Celiac disease can cause iron malabsorption by decreasing the surface absorption area in the duodenum and consequently can cause IDA. Oral or intravenous iron preparations are used in the treatment of IDA. In this study, we wanted to investigate the efficacy of ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) in celiac patients with RIA.
Methods: Twenty-three patients who were followed up in the gastroenterology outpatient clinic of İnönü University Medical Faculty Hospital Turgut Özal Medical Center with the diagnosis of CD and who received FCM were included in the study. The hemogram, ferritin, iron and iron binding levels of the patients were retrospectively screened through the hospital medical record system.
Results: Of the 23 patients included in the study, 3 (13.05%) were male and 20 (86.95%) were female. Hemoglobin concentration, iron and iron binding capacity before and after treatment showed a significant increase in all parameters after treatment. Ferritin value increased, although not significantly.
Conclusion: In our study, we found that FCM is an effective and safe treatment modality in the treatment of IDA in celiac patients.
