Iron-Refractory Iron Deficiency Anaemia (IRIDA)
Autozomálně recesivní
Caused by changes in both copies of TMPRSS6, high levels of the hormone hepcidin block iron absorption, leading to lifelong anaemia that responds poorly to iron tablets.
Co se diagnózou změní
Knowing the cause avoids repeated investigations for blood loss and points to intravenous iron rather than tablets.
