Iron Deficiency Anemia treatment in Ciudad de México

Iron-deficiency anemia is a type of anemia that occurs when the body does not have enough iron to produce hemoglobin, the protein of the red blood cells that carries oxygen to the tissues.

Common symptoms: Tiredness, paleness, weakness, shortness of breath on exertion and, at times, dizziness or fragile nails.

Common causes: It is usually related to blood loss, a diet low in iron, or difficulties absorbing it.

Which specialist evaluates it? The hematologist studies blood alterations in depth, while the general practitioner or the internist perform an initial evaluation. If you have unexplained fatigue or persistent paleness, discussing it with a professional makes it possible to clarify its origin.
