3th Step: Indication for Therapy
As soon as the tentative diagnosis was made based on the self check as well as the ferritin value below 50 ng/ml, a personal screenplay must be written for each patient:
After the consideration of possible differential diagnoses (other possible causes for the symptoms) and the exclusion of contraindications, the go-ahead can be given for a treatment with iron infusions as a first-line treatment.
After the calculation of the individually necessary quantity of iron, the treatment can start.
Dosage
The manufacturers of iron ampouls are not aware of the dosage necessary for the application to patients suffering from an iron deficiency syndrome but not from an anemia. In the instruction leaflets, reference is made to a quantity calculation formula dated 1968, developed for patients with an iron deficiency anemia at the time. This formula cannot be used for patients without an anemia (85% of the patients in Switzerland and Germany still do not have an anemia).
The medical iron centers know how to calculate the individually necessary iron quantity online in the consulting room, based on a new formula which has proved its worth since 2004 (internet-calculator in the health-banking). |
