A two-day event in Rome dedicated to Anemia and Iron Deficiency

With the aim of offering a multidisciplinary look at the topic of iron deficiency (ID) and iron-deficiency anemia (IDA), Kedrion unconditionally supported the “Anemia and Iron Deficiency – Interdisciplinary Problems” training event, which took place in Rome on April 4-5, 2023.

The two-day event, which was accredited by the Italian National Continuing Medical Education Program (ECM), explored the various aspects of the pathophysiology of iron-deficiency anemia, with a focus on anemia in the various therapeutic areas of diagnosis, treatment and safety.

In addition to promoting training and continuous updating of the Italian medical-scientific community, the initiative was created in order to contribute to the dissemination of a multidisciplinary approach, considering that anemia and iron deficiency are pathological conditions that are associated and determine the increased risk of cardiological, obstetrical-gynecological, gastroenterological and other problems. The event drew specialists from a number of therapeutic areas, who participated and spoke on a variety of topics.

Iron-deficiency anemia is a very common condition that limits the quality of life of patients and affects various clinical and therapeutic areas. Therefore, this was a very important event, for discussing and seeking common guidelines among various specialists.

Today, we know that about 30% of patients in the preoperative setting are affected by iron-deficiency anemia and that this impacts patient outcome. This event therefore has helped us to increase our knowledge both on diagnostics and on patient treatment methods, especially surgery.

In the gynecologic-obstetric setting, we address this condition on a daily basis with our patients because the problem of anemia and iron deficiency needs to be monitored and managed throughout a woman’s entire reproductive life. It is therefore important to diagnose and treat this condition appropriately. .
