This microlearning explores the practical management of iron deficiency, focusing on navigating the transition from oral to intravenous therapy and understanding the biological drivers of treatment failure. Through a real-world clinical case, you will evaluate the indications for IV iron—such as oral intolerance and the need for rapid repletion—while examining the “hepcidin revolution” and how this master regulatory hormone influences iron absorption and patient adherence.
