Anemia ferropénica

Nombres alternativos:

Anemia por deficiencia de hierro

Prevención:

La dieta de todas las personas debe incluir cantidades adecuadas de hierro. Las carnes rojas, el hígado y la yema de huevo son fuentes importantes de hierro en la dieta. La harina, el pan y algunos cereales están fortificados con hierro. Si la dieta es deficiente en hierro (situación poco común en los Estados Unidos), se deben tomar suplementos de éste.

Durante períodos en que se requiere mayor consumo, como el embarazo y la lactancia, debe aumentarse el consumo en la dieta o tomar suplementos de hierro.
