Iron Deficiency & Iron Deficiency Anaemia
Leaders in Iron Deficiency
Iron deficiency indicates a condition in which iron levels are below the minimal threshold. In the human body, iron has a wide and fundamental role. It is needed for the proper functioning of many systems, including the heart, muscles and red blood cells. It also plays a vital role in the immune system, the development of the brain and cognitive function. If iron levels fall too slow and are not treated, patients may experience unpleasant symptoms that affect the quality of life.
Iron deficiency is a very common condition. Studies show that it affects up to one third of the global population, in other words one every three people may be iron deficient. Despite its high occurrence and its potentially serious consequences for patients’ health, iron deficiency remains an overlooked, under-diagnosed and under-treated conditions.
At CSL, we are committed to raising awareness of the symptoms and serious health consequences of iron deficiency, ensuring that many more patients receive appropriate treatment.
