Iron per Post-Bariatric Nutritional Support

B Evidenze Almeno un trial randomizzato lo supporta, con risultati per lo più coerenti.

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.
