Abstract		Eighty percent of all anemias are due to iron deficiency. Disturbances in iron balance are caused by inadequate iron intake (food poor in iron) or absorption (stomach or bowel diseases), increased iron requirement (during growth, pregnancy), increased physiological (child bearing women) or pathological loss (gastrointestinal, urinary or gynecological bleeding) or disturbances of iron distribution (due to malignancy, chronic inflammation or infection). The article presents several patients with iron deficiency anemia treated with iron, blood transfusions or recombinant erythropoietin.
