Sideropenic Anaemia as a Manifestation of Selective
Iron Malabsorption Straub J., Kolešková E., Haber J. Hematologické oddělení I. interní kliniky 1. Lékařské fakulty UK a VFN, Praha, přednosta prof. MUDr. Pavel Klener, DrSc. |

Summary: The objective of the paper is to draw attention to the not very frequent and thus omitted form of
sideropenic anaemia in selective iron malabsorption as the only manifestation of malabsorption
syndrome in coeliac sprue.This type should be suspected when examination of blood losses is
futile and oral iron administration which is usually administered empirically produces no effect.
The authors present the example of two patients with severe sideropenic anaemia where the
diagnosis of malabsoprtion was confirmed only several years after the diagnosis of sideropenic
anaemia was established.Evidence of a correct conclusion was permanent normalization of haemoglobin values when the patients adhered to a gluten-free diet.
