Question

how can you treat a patient of iron defficency anemia with small bowel resection? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Anemia affects roughly a third of the world’s population with half of these cases being attributed to iron deficiency anemia. Gastrointestinal bleeding is the most common cause of iron deficiency anemia in patients without an obvious source of bleeding. Anastomotic or marginal ulcers are a known complication following small bowel resection and a source of chronic blood loss and anemia. However, small bowel anastomotic ulcers have only been described in the pediatric population and they have not been well defined as a source of adult obscure gastrointestinal bleeding leading to iron deficiency anemia. Here the authors report six cases of iron deficiency anemia secondary to small bowel anastomotic ulcers in adults that highlight a previously poorly described source of occult bleeding and emphasize the diagnostic benefit of video capsule endoscopy.

Answer 2

You may notice bright red blood when you move your bowels. This may mean that you are losing blood from your lower gastrointestinal tract, which may cause you to have an iron deficiency. You may notice the presence of black, tarry or maroon stools when you have a bowel movement.
