Iron deficiency is one of the most common nutritional deficiencies worldwide and is the leading cause of anemia in the pediatric population (microcytic, hypochromic anemia due to iron deficiency). Moreover, untreated iron deficiency can lead to various systemic consequences and can disrupt the child's development. Therefore, a team of experts from the Polish Pediatric Society, the Polish Society of Pediatric Oncology and Hematology, the Polish Neonatology Society, and the Polish Society of Family Medicine, based on a review of the current literature, their own clinical experience, and critical discussion, has developed updated guidelines for the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of iron deficiency in children from birth to 18 years of age. These recommendations apply to the general population and do not take into account the specifics of individual conditions and diseases.
缺铁是全球最常见的营养缺乏症之一，也是儿科人群中贫血的主要原因（由于缺铁导致的小细胞低色素性贫血）。此外，未经治疗的缺铁会导致各种全身后果，并可能干扰儿童的发育。因此，波兰儿科学会、波兰儿科肿瘤学和血液学学会、波兰新生儿学会以及波兰家庭医学学会的专家组在对现有文献进行回顾、结合自身临床经验并进行批判性讨论的基础上，制定了针对 0 至 18 岁儿童缺铁症的诊断、预防和治疗的更新指南。这些建议适用于普通人群，并未考虑个体情况和疾病的具体细节。
