Why is this Study Important?
Anemia is a blood disorder. There are many different types and causes of anemia. In some individuals anemia may be a temporary condition, the result of a poor diet or a consequence of surgery. Sometimes it can be a chronic condition caused by a health problem or it may be unexplained (the cause of the anemia cannot be determined). Regardless of the cause, anemia should not be ignored. Results of this study will help doctors know if treating people with intravenous iron is effective in improving symptoms of unexplained anemia.
Additional Information
The study is being coordinated by the Duke Clinical Research Institute, Duke University.
