Pumping Iron: How Hospitalist Should Manage Iron Deficiency Anemia
Ferritin rarely tells a single story—especially amid inflammation. In this on‑demand for hospitalists, interpret ferritin and TSAT with nuance; recognize when IV iron beats PO; select the right formulation; and dose safely with fixed or deficit‑based strategies. We review infection risks and infusion reactions and translate evidence into discharge follow‑up, so you apply faster, sharper IDA care on the wards.
