Piotr Czempik Shares His Latest Contribution to Acta Haematologica Polonic

Piotr Czempik, Chair of Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care at Medical University of Silesia, shared on LinkedIn:

”I’m pleased to share my latest contribution to Acta Haematologica Polonica:

“Intravenous iron is safe and effective in patients with infection and sepsis.”

This Letter to the Editor expands on an important and often controversial topic – the role of intravenous iron therapy in acutely ill patients.

Drawing on several years of research in iron metabolism among critically ill and septic patients, I discuss:

The high prevalence of iron deficiency anemia in this population
The diagnostic challenges caused by inflammation-driven distortion of traditional iron markers
The value of reticulocyte hemoglobin content (RET‑Hb) as a reliable, inflammation‑independent biomarker
Clinical observations suggesting that intravenous iron can be administered safely, even in sepsis
The need for individualized decision‑making and future randomized trials

As our understanding of iron metabolism in critical illness evolves, I hope this piece contributes to a more nuanced discussion and encourages further research in this area.

Thank you to colleagues and collaborators who continue to push this field forward.”
