Typically, the latter 2 of these objectives can be achieved through oral iron therapy. Intravenous iron administration (IIA) should be limited to those patients refractory or intolerant to oral preparations or who require rapid repletion. The indiscriminate use of IIA can increase morbidity and mortality due to iatrogenic overload. This fact, coupled with the growing popularity of IIA and the lack of reference guidelines in Spanish, led the Spanish Erythropathology Group of the Spanish Society of Haematology and Haemotherapy to develop this study, which presents the main recommendations on the optimal use of IIA in ID and attempts to constitute reference guidelines on good practices for the clinical management of these conditions.
