Hello everyone, Here is a Progressive File on anemia from the Hematology college reference (4th edition, 2021). This file addresses the concept of microcytic anemia due to iron deficiency, the treatment and monitoring of this pathology. Details concerning the clinical case: Systolic murmur: This appears when the heart contracts to expel blood to the organs. It may be indicative of insufficient closure of the mitral valve, the heart valve that separates the left atrium from the left ventricle Hepcidin: Anemia and hypoxia suppress the expression of hepcidin, so as to optimize intestinal absorption and the mobilization of macrophagic iron reserves for the needs of erythropoiesis. Conversely, hepcidin expression increases during high iron intakes and in the presence of inflammatory signals, particularly via IL6 Iron supplements are often in the form of film-coated tablets in order to improve the taste of the tablets. If you have any questions, you can ask them in the comments. I will be happy to answer them!
