1. Iron. 2. Vitamin B12. 3. Folic Acid. 4. Erythropoietin Antianaemics

Iron Forms of iron Total body iron = 4 gm distributed as 1. Hemoglobin = 2/3 amount. 2. Stored forms Available Forms Ferritin & haemosiderin in intestinal mucosal cells and in macrophages in liver, spleen & bone. Non available Forms: myoglobin, cytochromes, various enzymes

Iron 3. Transferrin: (circulating iron) iron bound to B globulins (ferric iron) most of this iron is used for erythropoiesis. Daily requirement 5 mg for male. 15 mg for female & children. available in meat, grain and vegetables

Iron absorption Iron is absorbed from upper part of small intestine in ferrous form (active transport). 2. Vitamin C, acidic medium, amino acids & fructose  absorption. 3. Antacids & tetracyclines ↓ absorption. 4. Converted to ferric in the mucosal cells Excretion no efficient way for excretion minimal lost in saliva, sweat, or by exfoliation (peeling off) of intestinal mucosal cells containing ferritin into stool.

Microcytic or hypochromic anemia. Usually given orally USES OF IRON THERAPY Microcytic or hypochromic anemia. Usually given orally 6

Oral iron preparations widely used in iron deficiency anemia Ferrous sulphate Ferrous gluconate. Ferrous succinate Ferrous fumarate. Side Effects of oral iron therapy 1. GIT disturbances: Nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea or constipation. 2. Black stool. 3. Teeth staining.

Parenteral Iron therapy Rare use Iron dextran Iron sucrose Iron sodium gluconate. Uses 1. Non compliance of oral iron therapy. 2. Severe malabsorption syndrome. 3. Marked blood loss.

Adverse Effects 1. Local pain & tissue staining ( I. M. ). 2 Adverse Effects 1. Local pain & tissue staining ( I.M. ). 2. Hypersensitivity reactions. (Urticaria up to anaphylactic reactions I.M. , I.V). 3. Headache, fever.

Acute iron toxicity Causes: accidental ingestion of iron tablets by children. Symptoms: Severe gastritis, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, abdominal pain. Circulatory collapse ( shock ). Metabolic acidosis, coma, death.

Treatment Gastric lavage: 1% Na HCO3 insoluble iron salts Treatment Gastric lavage: 1% Na HCO3 insoluble iron salts. Antidotes Deferoxamine intramuscularly or intravenous infusion  complex with ferric iron  excreted in urine.

Chronic Iron Toxicity Causes. 1. Congenital (hemochromatosis) Chronic Iron Toxicity Causes. 1. Congenital (hemochromatosis). Genetic abnormality of iron absorption 2. Repeated blood transfusion. 3. Chronic hemolytic anemia (Thalassaemia). Treatment 1. Deferoxamine 2. Intermittent phlebotomy.

Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) Vitamin B12 is not synthesized in human Should be supplied by dietary sources as eggs, dairy products & liver. Daily requirement 2 µg - 3 µg. It is absorbed from GIT in presence of intrinsic factor.

Intrinsic factor is a protein secreted by parietal cells of the stomach. It may be absent in patients having pernicious anemia. Full absorption of vitamin B12 requires intrinsic factor (gastric mucosa)+ receptors mediated transport system in ileum. It is stored mainly in the liver (3- 5 mg).

Preparations available 1. Cyanocobalamin. 2. Hydroxocobalamin (preferable). Hydroxocobalmin is more bound to plasma protein   t ½ longer half life .

Function of vitamin B12 1. Conversion of homocysteine into methionine this is required in folic acid metabolism and DNA synthesis (necessary for red blood cells production).

Function of vitamin B12 2. Conversion of methylmalonyl CoA to succinyl-CoA essential for lipid metabolism & normal neuronal function of the brain. 17

USES of VITAMIN B12 1. Naturally occurring pernicious anemia (life long therapy, I.M.) 2. Neurological abnormalities. 3. Gastrectomy. 4. Cyanide poisoning (hydroxocobalamin).

Naturally occurring pernicious anemia occurs due to vitamin B 12 deficiency Lack of intrinsic factor. Diseases that interfere its absorption in the ileum as. e.g. inflammatory bowel disease characterized by : 1. Megaloblastic anaemia. 2. Neuropathy.

Folic acid Chemistry

Folic acid Sources Kinetics Present as in green vegetables, liver, kidney & yeasts (methyl tetrahydrofolates ). Daily requirement 100 µg. Kinetics In intestine: Folic acid or dietary folates are absorbed completely by active transport system.

In cells: Folic acid is reduced to dihydrofolate then tetrahydrofolate by dihydrofolate reductase enzyme. Folic acid → dihydrofolate → tetrahydrofolate Folates is demethylated to tetrahydrofolate. Active form is tetrahydrofolate polyglutamate Vitamin B12 is required for activation of folic acid

Functions Deficiency Causes Folic acid is necessary for 1. Synthesis of purines & pyrimidines. 2. Amino acid metabolism Deficiency Causes 1. Poor diet (alcoholics is common). 2. Pregnancy (increases the risk of neural tube defect in the fetus). 3. Drugs (phenytoin, phenobarbitone). 4. Premature Infants.

USES 5. Hemolytic Anaemia. 6. Folate antagonists Sulphonamides, methotrexate USES 1. Megaloblastic anaemia (folic acid deficiency). 2. Pregnancy to avoid risk of neural tube defect in newborns 3. During cytotoxic therapy (Methotrexate).

Preparations Contraindications Synthetic folic acid (tablets & parenteral). Contraindications Pernicious Anaemia (Vitamin B12 deficiency) Folic acid can aggravates the neurological symptoms although blood picture may improve.

Erythropoietin (Epotein) A hematopoeitic growth factor stimulate the proliferation and differentiation of erythrocyte precursors in the bone marrow. glycoprotein hormone released mainly from the kidney ( 90%; the remainder in the liver and other tissues ) in response to hypoxia.

Synthesized by (recombinant DNA technology). Subcutaneously (SC) or intravenously (i.v.). Plasma half life is 4 h. Given 3 times weekly USES anaemia due to renal failure. anaemia in HIV-infected patients. anaemia in cancer patients.

Influenza-like syndrome. Increased incidence of thrombosis. Adverse Effects hypertension. Influenza-like syndrome. Increased incidence of thrombosis. Convulsions. Allergic reactions. 29 29
