FICTIONAL CASE · SELF-REFLECTION WITHOUT A SCORE
A 62-year-old man presents with fatigue, microcytic anaemia and low ferritin. He reports no abdominal pain or visible blood in his stool. Iron replacement is being considered.
Does the absence of gastrointestinal symptoms justify iron treatment alone?
No. Iron deficiency is supported, but its cause still needs investigation. Arrange appropriate gastrointestinal assessment, including consideration of occult loss and coeliac disease, while treating anaemia. Improvement with iron does not remove this need.
