Palliative Medicine, 04/08/09
Robertson KA et al. - IRT should neither be indiscriminately prescribed nor withheld for anaemic palliative care patients, and the decision should not be based on red-cell indices alone. When symptomatic anaemia is found in patients whose general condition indicates that IRT would be acceptable, iron status should be fully assessed. A therapeutic trial of IRT may be justified where ferritin is elevated, but other parameters suggest iron deficiency.
