Iron Deficiency Anemia: Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and Emerging Therapies

  • Abstract:
  • Iron is essential for nearly all living organisms and plays a vital role in various metabolic functions. One of its most important roles is oxygen transport in hemoglobin. In dogs and cats, iron deficiency anemia is often caused by chronic blood loss and may be discovered incidentally, as these animals can adapt to the anemia over time. Severe iron deficiency leads to a type of anemia characterized by microcytic and hypochromic red blood cells, and the regenerative response can vary. This text will review iron metabolism and homeostasis, followed by a discussion on diagnostic testing and therapeutic recommendations for iron deficiency anemia.
