Be responsible for your own health. If you suffer from iron deficiency, you need Iron in first line.

If you suffer from the specified symptoms, seek medical advice and have your ferritin value determined. If it lies below 50 ng/ml, the suspicion is substantiated.

2th Step: Suspected Diagnosis

 

The selftest gives the first note for a possible IDS, especially if you belong to a risk group: women in menstruating age, children, elderly persons and athletes

 

The next step will be to look at the iron storage. While men have a Ferritin (storage iron) of 200 ng/ml - the storage is half full - Ferritin of women in menstruating age is usually deeper than 50 ng/ml. For the one of them it‘s enough, for others not and these need iron.

 

In case Ferritin is deeper than 50 ng/ml, the suspedted diagnosis earned by the selftest is increased. Now the question is, if you shouldn‘t receive iron. Because iron pills are not really helpfull (very small resorption), we have changed the strategy and give iron-infusions.
