Updated iron deficiency anemia pathway

The Calgary Zone’s iron deficiency anemia (IDA) pathway, available via Specialist Link, has been updated to reflect current evidence and provide additional guidance for clinicians managing patients with anemia.

Updates include:

• An approach to new and chronic normocytic anemia
• Expanded recommendations for iron therapy
• Support for identifying underlying causes when they are not clinically evident

The pathway also includes details and comparisons of oral iron preparations, as well as guidance on dosing.
