Ischemic Stroke Related to Severe Iron-Deficiency Anemia in Adults May Benefit from Blood Transfusion (P01.232)
CONCLUSIONS: Prevalence of IDA is 1-20%; it is 3.9% in our AIS population and is often related to untreated uterine bleeding. As described in the pediatric population, severe IDA may be an underlying mechanism of ischemic stroke in adults, therefore, efforts must be undertaken to identify and treat the cause of the anemia. While patients with AIS and severe IDA may receive TPA, blood transfusion may be considered as an adjuvant therapy.Supported by: SPOTRIAS P50 NS044227 & NIH Training Grant 5T 32NS0077412-12.Disclosure: Dr. Choi has nothing to disclose.
