Iron para Post-Bariatric Nutritional Support

B Evidências Pelo menos um ensaio aleatorizado apoia esta conclusão, com resultados maioritariamente consistentes.

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.
