[Iron Deficiency and Iron Deficiency Anemia. Guideline for Prevention, Diagnosis and Treatment]
Abstract
Iron deficiency is the most important causal factor of anemia. Preschoolers are particularly vulnerable; a recent analysis reported a prevalence rate higher than 35% among children less than 2 years old in Argentina. Its early detection, right treatment, and suitable prophylaxis currently take priority in our country. This guideline establishes the definition of anemia in relation to chronological age, gestational age and habitat, reviews main causes of iron deficiency, and sets guidelines for diagnosis, detection, differential
La deficiencia de hierro es la causa más frecuente de anemia en el niño, especialmente, en edad preescolar, con una prevalencia mayor del 35% en menores de 24 meses, en Argentina. Su detección precoz, así como el tratamiento correcto y la profilaxis adecuada, son hoy una prioridad en nuestro país. Con dicho objetivo, en esta guía, se establece la definición de anemia según edad cronológica, edad gestacional y medioambiente; se enumeran las principales causas de deficiencia de hierro y se establecen pautas para su diagnóstico correcto, diagnóstico diferencial, tratamiento, prevención y pesquisa.
