Marjolein Smidt: ASH Raises Ferritin Thresholds for Iron Deficiency

Marjolein Smidt, Surgical oncologist at Maastricht UMC+, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“In no uncertain terms, a new directive on iron deficiency has been launched by the American Society of Hematology.

With terms such as ‘most common and most neglected’, more than 70% of cases missed in high risk population, due to limited screening/unambiguous reference values.

What is really good ?

  • very clear reference values
  • more than 30 general and more than 50 for high risk (think pregnant/menstruation) striking detail: no male-female difference
  • very good substantiation

Landelijke Huisartsen Vereniging (LHV) – more than you just have to follow

Thanks American Society of Hematology!

So urgently Needed!”
