    Iron deficiency anemia during early development can have greater long-term consequences than in adults, potentially causing permanent changes. It affects neurological development, physical growth, and myelination of the spinal cord. Symptoms include irritability, weakness, pallor, and fatigue. Diagnosis involves checking complete blood count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and serum iron levels, as well as examining red blood cells on smear. Treatment focuses on eliminating the cause, increasing iron intake orally or parenterally through supplements or transfusions, and dietary education about iron-rich foods.

    Iron Deficiency Anemia

    Iron deficiency anemia
    Iron deficiency anemia for infants in their
    earlier stages of development may have
    significantly greater consequences than it
    does for adults. An animal made severely
    iron deficient during its earlier life cannot
    recover to normal iron levels even with iron
    therapy. In contrast, iron deficiency during
    later stages of development can be
    compensated with sufficient 
    iron supplements.
    Iron deficiency anemia affects neurological
    development by decreasing learning ability, altering
    motor functions, and permanently reducing the
    number of dopaminereceptors and serotonin levels.
    Iron deficiency during development can lead to
    reduced myelination of the spinal cord, as well as a
    change in myelin composition. Additionally, iron
    deficiency anemia has a negative effect on physical
    growth. Growth hormone secretion is related to
    serum transferrin levels, suggesting a positive
    correlation between iron-transferrin levels and an
    increase in height and weight.
    assessment
    Compensatory tachycardia- earliest sign
    Irritability; weakness; decreased exercise tolerance
    and anorexia
    Pallor; waxy swallow appearance
    Dyspnea; increased RR; SOB
    Edema; hepatomegaly
    Assessment findings:
    Reduced energy, cold
    sensitivity,fatigue,DOE
    Increased HR even at rest
    Decreased CBC, Hgb, Hct, serum Fe
    Blood smear reveals microcytic and
    hypochromic RBCs
    Medical Management:
    Treat and eliminate the cause
    Correction of faulty diet, oral
    supplement or parenteral
    administration of iron is prescribed
    Blood Transfusion in severe cases
    Interventions
    Increased oral intake of iron
    Instruct the child and parents in food choices that are
    high in iron (breads and cereals: dark leafy vegetables;
    egg yolks; kidney beans; liver; meats; raisins)
    Administer iron supplements as prescribed.
    Teach parents how to administer the iron supplements.
    Provide dietary teaching regarding foods high in iron.
    Encourage ingestion of roughage and increased fluid
    intake to prevent constipation if oral preparations are
    being taken
    Thank you !!
