Iron لـ Post-Bariatric Nutritional Support

B الأدلة تدعم ذلك تجربة عشوائية واحدة على الأقل، مع نتائج متسقة في معظمها.

Iron deficiency occurs in 33-55% of post-bariatric patients. ASMBS guidelines recommend 45-60 mg elemental iron/day after gastric bypass. Ferrous bisglycinate is the preferred form for tolerability. Monitoring every 3-6 months is mandatory.
