Abstract in brief

  • The guideline explains how to diagnose functional iron deficiency in a lab setting, focusing on specific blood tests and markers.
  • It emphasizes the importance of evaluating not just iron levels but also how iron is utilized and stored in the body, such as through serum ferritin, transferrin saturation, and inflammatory markers.
  • The document aims to help healthcare providers accurately identify functional iron deficiency, especially in conditions like chronic inflammation or disease, to ensure appropriate treatment.]
