Intensification of pharmacotherapy beyond statins in CVD prevention

Pitfalls in diagnosing and treating iron deficiency anemia including in patients with anemia of chronic disease
1. Learn how to diagnose iron deficiency anemia integrating serum Fe, UIBC and TIBC Transferrin, Transferrin Saturation, Ferritin, RDW, reticulocytes, FEP and their respective reference ranges and the blood smear. Distinguish IDA from thalassemia trait;
2. Explain the role of hepcidin, ferroportin, transferrin and inflammatory mediators in iron kinetics and learn how to diagnose anemia of chronic disease;
3. Learn the pitfalls and limitations of ferritin values in assessing iron status and learn how to look for clues for a coexisting iron deficiency state in patients with anemia of chronic disease and when and if to use the soluble transferrin receptor and sTfR-ferritin index;
4. Cite the various iron formulations both oral (iron salts, iron polysaccharides, heme iron polypeptides and carbonyl microparticles of elemental iron) and IV, and share clinical pearls to help guide selection of iron preparations when prescribing iron therapy.
