Plain Language Summary:
People with inherited bleeding disorders are at increased risk of iron deficiency, with or without anemia, but there are currently no standard guidelines for screening and diagnosis. To address this gap, experts from the National Bleeding Disorders Foundation developed recommendations for identifying, screening, and managing iron deficiency in this population.
These recommendations aim to improve detection and treatment of iron deficiency, while highlighting the need for more research to better understand its impact on people with bleeding disorders.
