Hepcidin, a peptide hormone mostly produced by the liver, controls the absorption and regulation of iron. Understanding iron metabolism is pivotal in the successful management of ID and iron deficiency\u00a0anaemia\u00a0(IDA) using oral preparations, parenteral iron or blood transfusion. Oral preparations vary in their iron content and can result in gastrointestinal side effects. Parenteral iron is indicated when there are compliance\/tolerance issues with oral iron, comorbidities which may affect absorption or ongoing iron losses that exceed absorptive capacity. It may also be the preferred option when rapid iron repletion is required to prevent physiological decompensation or given preoperatively for non-deferrable surgery. As gynaecologists, we focus on managing\u00a0women&#8217;s heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) and assume that primary care clinicians are treating the associated ID\/IDA. We now need to take the lead in diagnosing, managing and initiating treatment for ID\/IDA and treating HMB simultaneously. This dual management will significantly improve their quality of life. In this chapter we will summarise the importance of iron in cellular functioning, describe how to diagnose ID\/IDA and help clinicians choose between the available treatment options.<\/p>\n<p><strong>KEYWORDS<\/strong>: anaemia; heavy menstrual bleeding; hepcidin; iron deficiency; iron deficiency\u00a0anaemia<\/p>\n<p>[\/cmsmasters_text][cmsmasters_button button_type=&#8221;regular&#8221; button_link=&#8221;https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S1521693416300840?via%3Dihub&#8221; button_target=&#8221;blank&#8221; button_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; button_style=&#8221;cmsmasters_but_bg_slide_left&#8221; button_font_weight=&#8221;normal&#8221; button_font_style=&#8221;normal&#8221; button_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; animation_delay=&#8221;0&#8243;]Elsivier &#8211; Best Practice &amp; Research Clinical Obstetrics &amp; Gynaecology[\/cmsmasters_button][\/cmsmasters_column][\/cmsmasters_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[cmsmasters_row data_width=&#8221;boxed&#8221; data_padding_left=&#8221;3&#8243; data_padding_right=&#8221;3&#8243; data_top_style=&#8221;default&#8221; data_bot_style=&#8221;default&#8221; data_color=&#8221;default&#8221; data_bg_position=&#8221;top center&#8221; data_bg_repeat=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221; data_bg_attachment=&#8221;scroll&#8221; data_bg_size=&#8221;cover&#8221; data_bg_parallax_ratio=&#8221;0.5&#8243; data_padding_top=&#8221;0&#8243; data_padding_bottom=&#8221;50&#8243;][cmsmasters_column data_width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][cmsmasters_text animation_delay=&#8221;0&#8243;] Best Pract Res Clin Obstet Gynaecol.\u00a02017 Apr;40:55-67. doi: 10.1016\/j.bpobgyn.2016.09.007.
