Iron deficiency anaemia: pathophysiology, assessment, practical management

This is the second in a new series of BMJ Open Gastroenterology interviews, in which we will be covering high-profile publications in conjunction with the lead authors of the papers. In this episode we are focusing on a paper entitled ‘Iron deficiency anaemia: pathophysiology, assessment, practical management’ published online in January 2022 (https://bmjopengastro.bmj.com/content/9/1/e000759). Dr James Ashton, Social Media Editor of BMJOG, interviews the authors Dr. Aditi Kumar(1) and Prof. Matthew Brookes(2). This paper is currently our most read article online and covers practical tips for diagnosis, management and additional investigations for this very common problem.
