Who is the study for?
This trial is for women with severe iron deficiency anemia due to uterine bleeding who can consent, are dischargeable from the emergency department, and can attend follow-ups. They must have a hemoglobin level of 9.0 g/dl or less and serum ferritin of 30 ng/mL or less. Exclusions include pregnancy, recent blood transfusions, major upcoming surgery, certain chronic diseases like heart failure or kidney disease, known allergies to iron treatments, and current infections.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares the effectiveness of IV Ferric Derisomaltose against oral Ferrous Sulfate in treating severe iron deficiency anemia caused by uterine bleeding in female patients at the emergency department. It's a randomized trial where participants will be assigned one of these two treatments.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects may include allergic reactions such as itching or rash (more common with IV treatment), gastrointestinal issues like constipation or stomach pain (often associated with oral iron), headaches, dizziness, joint pains and muscle cramps.
